corruption, Irregularities and Mismanagement of fund for Hockey Cup game is noticed
which is covered  up by Odisha  bureaucracy
Transparent
Govt claimed  by Nabin Patnaik, Chief

Dear friends
In 2005, RTI Act was enacted
to enforce   transparency and
accountability in the administration and contain corruption. Since last 13
years, RTI has proved effective tool to fight out  corruption 
in the country.  Chief Minister
Nabin  Patnaik  claims his Govt. as most transparent  Govt. and has introduced 3T  and PEETHA yojana  to 
enforce  transparency  in the implementation of  Govt. programme .
In 2018, State Government
organized Hockey World Cup in Bhubaneswar with 
much fanfare taking a lot of credit for organizing  such mega event in Bhubaneswar. RTI
Application was   filed to different
offices to understand  details of budget,
expenses, events organized and correspondence made with Hockey event,
contribution made by  corporate  houses 
and others, details of fees  paid  to singers etc.  Though 3 months passed, the Department of
Sports and Youth services, Govt. of Odisha , nodal  Department 
for Hockey event  is not  providing
