New Delhi: The PMO has refused to disclose information on action taken on suggestions made by the Shunglu panel, which probed alleged irregularities in 2010 Commonwealth Games-related projects here.  


To an RTI query, the Prime Minister's Office said it was being examined by a Group of Ministers (GoM) and hence exempted under the Right to Information Act.  

The PMO, in reply to a query whether the government was considering to make Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) a three-member body on the basis of the committee's suggestion, said “information regarding future course of action” cannot be accessed under the transparency law.

The High Level Committee (HLC) led by former CAG V K Shunglu had in March 2011 written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh suggesting changes in the country's top auditing body, Controller General of Accounts (CGA), Controller of Accounts under Delhi government, Central Vigilance Commission and Delhi Development Authority.
