According to reports, the RTI activist Mohan Karemore digs out important information using the powers of Right to Information Act and then files Public Litigation Petitions (PILs) in courts. Recently, Karemore raised his voice against the contractor Raja Dronkar who had constructed the new Butibori-Umred Road. However, the inferior quality of construction led to the poor condition of the road very shortly. The maintenance work of the road is also with the contractor, alleged the RTI activist. Karemore had even submitted memorandums to the Public Works Department (PWD) and other departments during the Winter Session of Maharashtra Legislature held in Nagpur. He had strongly demanded action against the contractor Raja Dronkar.
