Committee to select SIC chief and members

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has convened a meeting of the selection panel on Wednesday to appoint State Information Commission (SIC) chief and its members.

“The Chief Minister has invited deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand and opposition leader and PDP President Mehbooba Mufti to a meeting on October 27 to select the SIC chief and its members,” an official spokesman said here on Tuesday.

The Committee will select the SIC chief and its members under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.

The PDP president had not attended earlier meetings to appoint heads of State Information Commission and State Accountability Commission due to various reasons.
