The Tamil Nadu government has withdrawn its September 21 Government Order exempting the Public (Law and Order) Department from the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, following protests by political parties and transparency activists. The order had classified the department as an intelligence and security organisation, allowing it to deny information requests. #TamilNadu #RTIAct #RightToInformation #Transparency #GovernmentOrder
