 Wait no more. Be smart. Search for the relevant authority first. If it is local roads, it is Municipal Corporation, if it is National High way, then it is National Highway Authority of India. That's the hardest part. But don't worry. Even if you don't know the Public Authority, file an RTI to most relevant public Authority and that Public Authority is bound to forward your RTI. Remember he cannot return your RTI, that's the best part.  Wait no more. Be smart. Search for the relevant authority first.

 +
 +===== Solve long pending issues of the society =====
 +{{ :blog:long-pending.jpeg?400|}}
 +If your ordinary application is long pending with any government dept/office or you are not getting satisfactory replies/action, or bribe is being demanded, you can lodge an application under this act and ask for questions/information. Here is the Guide from our Blogger [[https://rtiindia.org/blogs/entry/18-any-thing-pending-with-govt/|JP Shah]]
 +
 +Many of RTI Applications have help thousand others in solving the long pending issues. A student who migrated to US after staying in a rented apartment in Chennai was able to solve the encroachment issues by filing RTI online from US. Why not we!
 +
 +<note tip>Remember, drafting RTI in long pending cases is vital. You should take help from our Active Members at forum to draft a good RTI application. Head to our [[https://rtiindia.org|forum here]].</note>

 +===== Make your elected representative accountable =====
 +{{ :blog:mplad-rti.jpg?200|}}
 +The Members of Parliament Local Area Development Division is entrusted with the responsibility of implementation of Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS). Under the scheme, each MP has the choice to suggest to the District Collector for, works to the tune of Rs.5 Crores per annum to be taken up in his/her constituency.
 +
 +A normal tendency is to stagger the recommendations on the last year of the term so that for next election, benefits can be reaped. You know, an MP apart from legislature function, utilization of 5 Cr is the most important functions he performs. But have we made our MPs aware of their work? Now you can do that with RTI filed to District Collector
 +
 +<note tip>With an RTI it is very simple to get to know what works your MP is recommending or not recommending at all. Go ahead and file an RTI for MPLAD funds utilization. We have the sample RTI for you here. [[guide:applicant:application:sample:mla-fund|RTI for MPLAD Funds]]</note>

 +===== Make connections with Government Officers =====
 +{{ :blog:rti-connections.png |}}
 +We all enjoy the connection. And what best can be then to have connections with Government Officers. They are powerful and resourceful. Once you file RTI, not only you get to know the Department, but also who does what. Many RTI Activist knows each officer, their antecedents, and their work style just by filing RTI continuously. Who knows you make them friends one day!8-)
 +
 +<note tip>Also be polite and courteous while you go for inspection. Meet the officer and introduce yourself. This way they get to know you and you get to know them.</note>
