New Delhi: In a bid to
increase public awareness on the anti-graft Lokpal Bill, the
volunteers of pressure group India Against Corruption (IAC) are
holding several meetings in the national capital Sunday.
These will be held in three areas: Narela, Rohini and Shahdara.
"As the drafting of the Lokpal Bill, which is to be finalised by
June 30, is under way we are conducting several public
consultations across the country. In Delhi, for the first time we
are organising three public consultations Sunday," Aswathi
Muralidharan, volunteer of IAC, told IANS.
During the public consultations, IAC will be playing a 30-minute
film on the bill followed by a presentation which will explain
details of the bill.
Such meetings have already been conducted in Guwahati, Ahmedabad
and various other cities.
