RTI information reveals 90 Lakh spent on Kosi Judicial Inquiry supposed to submit report in three months and just managing "COVER_UP" for three years!

I had represented National Human Rights Commission in September 2008 demanding to Inquire and fix responsibility of Kosi Tragedy of August 2008. NHRC made hearings for one year and then gave an order asking me to approach Bihar Human Rights Commission. It was an irrelevant order and shirking of responsibility. I further represented to the PM against this order and the PMO sent a letter to Minister of Home, Government of India to look into it. Even after so many years, it still does not have time "to look into it".
Meanwhile, in January 2009 Government of Bihar announced an ONE member Judicial Inquiry Commission headed by a retired Judge Justice Rajesh Walia to submit a report within three months on Kosi Tragedy. Even after three years it is NOT anywhere near a Report, and the shocking thing is that the Government of Bihar has spent 90 lakh Rupees on this ONE member Inquiry Commission till 31st March, 2011.This is when Kosi Rehabilitation has still to be completed and thousands of victims still awaiting compensation announced by Government of Bihar. It is becoming clear that there is a conspiracy to protect the guilty and those responsible for the heinous Kosi Tragedy of 2008, while the common people are being duped in the name of Judicial Inquiry.
This sensational information was obtained through RTI by my colleague, Madhepura Congress leader and RTI activist Shri Angad Yadav from Home Department of Bihar Government vide letter dated 05.04.2011. Madhepura Congress leaders Ashok Kamti, Gugal Paswan, Amrendra Yadav, Hemender Kumar, Rajender Kumar (Advocate) and other Kosi victims have threatened agitation from 18th August, anniversary of Kosi Tragedy of 2008, if their demands of adequate pending compensation are not met by then.
I extend my full support to their genuine demand and add that this farce of Inquiry should be wound up, and further loss of Government Exchequer to cover up their misdeeds should be condemned by one and all.
I think CBI should Inquire into Kosi Tragedy because the culprits have to be brought to book. It is disgusting that Kosi Tragedy recurrence chances looms large and that too precisely for same old reason - official apathy and negligence, inspite of much publicised Nitish Kumar visit to the Kosi barrage area and blame game on Nepal.
