In an open house organised at the Ahmedabad Management Association (AMA), the police and citizens came face to face on the issue of transparency in police stations and the need for proactive disclosures under RTI Act. This meet was jointly organised by Society for Women Action And Training Initiative (SWATI) and Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) on Thursday. 

The meet agreed that the RTI Act can become an effective tool in improving community policingand winning the confidence of citizens at large. A large number of RTI users, especially women who had filed cases of domestic violence and followed their individual cases by using RTIs were part of this discussion. 

The discussion focused on greater participation of police stations in proactive disclosures which includes listing powers and duties of individual policemen at the station, list of documents that are held by police station or under its control like FIRs, providing to the public particulars of any arrangements that exists with the consultation of the public, copies of works of police committees and a directory of its officers and employees. Venkatesh Nayak, programme co-ordinator for CHRI said, "Police-public interface should not be underestimated and nor should they be stymied through poor control, M K Nayak added, "The police must be aware of the obligations under the RTI Act while the public must also know the law.
