Former Ambassador of India to Portugal, Mrs. Madhu Bhaduri filed a RTI application with the Delhi Jal Board (DJB). Her mother lives in Hauz Khas, block K and had been complaining about a blocked sewer for a month. Mrs. Bhaduri spoke to the Junior Engineer(JE) to get the matter looked into as the block had started to stink and mosquitoes had become a big problem. The Engineer simply said he'd look into the matter and that the DJB was using very heavy machinery to rectify the problem and did nothing.

She filed a RTI application and almost instantly the situation reversed. The engineer even visited her mother's house, touched her feet and promised that the situation would be immediately attended to.
