Chandigarh, August 12, 2024: Three new State Information Commissioners appointed in Punjab. Advocate Dr. Bhupinder Singh Batth, Sandeep Singh Dhaliwal and Virinderjit Singh Biling appointed as State Information Commissioner of the Punjab State Information Commission.
Last month, the Punjab and Haryana High Court directed the Punjab government to file a status report over the non-appointment of state information commissioners.
The order was issued in response to a plea that claimed the Punjab State Information Commission had not appointed commissioners for the last three years. As per the information, 10 seats of Punjab State Information Commission have remained vacant till 2021.
