By Rakesh Raman

New Delhi, July 25, 2025 – An anti-corruption activist Rakesh Raman has escalated his call for accountability, urging authorities to prosecute several senior Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers implicated in a sprawling corruption scandal in Delhi. 

Raman, who publishes The Integrity Bulletin and annual India Corruption Research Reports, alleges that these officials are part of a citywide crime network involving corrupt bureaucrats, politicians, police, judicial members, and builders’ mafia, collectively causing significant harm to Delhi residents. read more

RTI Application to Seek Floor Area Ratio (FAR) Construction Information from DDA

As a journalist and environmental activist, I have been running citywide campaigns to stop FAR construction.

By Rakesh Raman

Floor Area Ratio (FAR) Construction in Delhi’s Cooperative Group Housing Societies (CGHS) is a dangerous work which spreads harmful pollution and causes accidents in housing complexes where people (men, women, children, and senior citizens) are living. 

As a journalist and environmental activist, I have been running citywide campaigns to stop FAR construction. In March / April 2024, I had sent RTI applications to various departments including Delhi Development Authority (DDA), Delhi Police, Registrar Cooperative Societies (RCS) of Delhi Government, and Delhi Fire Service (DFS) to seek FAR information.  read more

Therefore, there is an immediate need to formulate new laws and implement an effective administrative model to safeguard the rights and interests of millions of people who live in these housing societies. read more
