It is a known fact that the islanders of Lakshadweep are facing multiple problems in their life due to geographical reasons on one side, which is multiplied many fold by the negative actions and attitude of the officials who are entrusted with the important responsibility of supporting the islanders and bring them up on par with those well-educated, well-cultured and well-settled people of the mainland. The local people have no basic knowledge of complaining before the appropriate offices or gathering information on any matter, that has adversely affected them.
For example, they cannot have access to the relevant records of the Global Tenders floated in the year 2010 for the bidding of Bangaram Island Resort. Many such unknown subjects are affecting their life.
In the above background, it is felt essential to bring home the most important enactment of the Indian Parliament, “the Right to Information Act, 2005 (22 of 2005). This Act enables every citizen of India to obtain information on almost all the subjects of his interest, by making an application, followed by the specified application fee. In general cases, the concerned is bound by Law to provide the required information to the applicant within 30 days of the application. There are vital penal clauses, which are strong enough to fine or put the erring official in jail, in extreme cases. The profile of the Right to Information Act and the salient clauses thereof are summarized below for the information of the ordinary people of Lakshadweep.

Any complaint against Lakshadweep Tourism? Let the fact speaks for itself!
Instances were many in the recent past where the enthusiastic tourists to the Lakshadweep were put to untold miseries and strain during their trip to these exotic islands.
Such problems arose due to the sudden cancellation of the resort/ship booking, allotting a lower class instead of deluxe class accommodation in the ship, irregular ferry service between the islands, irresponsible service pattern of the SPORTS management, etc. In such situations, the tourists will be very unsatisfied and furious. And it is quite natural too. They will, and they must bring up the issue before the authorities.
If you have a grievance, you must respond, but the right way. While doing so, they should have these guidelines in mind. Read at: Your guide to making a complaint or / Contact Us / or / Join Our Forum
