The Central Information Commission (CIC) is acutely short of information commissioners (ICs). Against the sanctioned strength of 10 ICs, it has only six. And by November-December this year, three more posts of ICs and one post of chief information commissioner (CIC) may fall vacant.
In the normal course, the posts should be advertised now, but there does not appear to be any move so far in that direction.
ICs Yashovardhan Azad (Retd IPS:1976:MP) and Prof. M S Acharyulu will complete their tenure on 21 November and two days later CIC R K Mathur (Retd IAS:1979:TR) will complete his tenure whereas IC Amitava Bhattacharya (Retd IAS) will complete his tenure in the first week of December.
