Army chief withdraws circular

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI : Chief of Army Staff J. J. Singh on Friday withdrew a circular directing officials to withhold furnishing of information under the Right to Information Act till the Defence Ministry considered the Army's plea to exempt the three armed servicesfrom its purview on certain issues.

Faced with mounting applications, mainly from officers , Gen. Singh had, earlier this week, approved the proposal of the Military Secretary (MS) branch that till a formal ruling is received from the Ministry of Defence on exemption, the status quo be maintained on providing information of any nature from the branch. Gen. Singh also directed that information about individual cases be not released.
