How to file an RTI for garbage collection failure in Indore

The general guide on RTI for garbage collection failure covers the full template, decision steps, case law and FAQs. This page focuses on the Indore-specific bits: which municipal department to file at, what fee mode Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) accepts, the local portal (if any), and where to escalate within Madhya Pradesh.

1. Identify the office. Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) (Municipal Solid Waste Officer) typically sits at Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) headquarters or the relevant zonal office.
2. Pay the fee: Rs. 10 IPO/cash; check the Madhya Pradesh hub for any state-specific fee.

4. Track: 30-day clock starts from receipt by the public authority.

2. Day 75-76: file Second Appeal to the Madhya Pradesh State Information Commission.
3. Parallel pressure: Use the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) grievance portal (if available) and CPGRAMS (pgportal.gov.in).
