It is good news for the general public that CIC is very much serious about the matters relating to the welfare of generals public. In a recent order the CIC took it very seriously and ordered a central ministry to implement health insurance scheme. The Central Information Commission (CIC) has asked the Union Textiles Secretary to review the implementation of health insurance scheme for the weavers and submit a compliance report within a month. The matter came up before the commission after a weaver from Varanasi, Rustam Nawaj, invoked his right to information to seek details on action taken report from the textile ministry on an earlier representation submitted before its Union Minister. Nawaj, along with his associates, had filed their representation with the ministry, in January this year, alleging non-implementation of health insurance scheme for weavers. The Ministry's information officer in its reply said that the health insurance scheme had been implemented through a private insurer, ICICI Lombard General Insurance. The matter was brought before the CIC after the applicants alleged that their complaints were not looked upon seriously, while further stating that the promises made as part of the insurance scheme were never actualised. Nawaj also raised his grievances over the lack of proper implementation of the scheme by the insurer.
