How to file an RTI for garbage collection failure in Raipur

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

1. Identify the office. Raipur Municipal Corporation (Municipal Solid Waste Officer) typically sits at Raipur Municipal Corporation headquarters or the relevant zonal office.
2. Pay the fee: Rs. 10 IPO/cash; check the Chhattisgarh hub for any state-specific fee.
3. File: online via https://mcraipur.in/ OR by Speed Post to Raipur Municipal Corporation (with acknowledgment).
4. Track: 30-day clock starts from receipt by the public authority.

1. Day 31: file First Appeal under §19(1) to the FAA (typically the Municipal Commissioner of Raipur Municipal Corporation).
2. Day 75-76: file Second Appeal to the Chhattisgarh State Information Commission.
3. Parallel pressure: Use the Raipur Municipal Corporation grievance portal (if available) and CPGRAMS (pgportal.gov.in).
