Rights activists in Gujarat will launch a 15-day anti-bribery campaign July 1 to urge people to use the Right to Information Act (RTI) to get their grievances addressed instead of greasing the hands of corrupt officials.Seminars and discussions will be held at Kochrab Ashram in Paldi area here from July 1 to 15, said Harinesh Pandya, coordinator of the Right to Information-Gujarat Initiative, an NGO. "The objective of the campaign is to motivate citizens to use the RTI Act of 2005 to get their legitimate grievances addressed," said Pandya. "We have over 40 trained volunteers to assist citizens from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. for the fifteen days," he added. More than 48 NGOs across the state are expected to participate in the campaign, which is a part of a nation-wide drive in 45 cities in 15 states against bribery. (IANS)
