Government should order an independent inquiry into the mysterious death of RTI activist, Mr Ramdass-Bapuji-Ubale Ghadegaonkar in Nanded to clear the apprehension of the involvement of the PDS scamsters because of Mr Ramdass campaign against the corruption in the distribution of Kerosene and other items.

To nullify the ill-intentions of murderous, local RTI/Social activists should continue the campaign by exposing the corruption in PDS with the help of RTI and other tools. Local activists should continue to file RTI applications to expose and stop corruption in PDS so that poors can get their right entitlement of oil and other items distributed under PDS.
