Deciphering RTI Amendment Bill

Is it Death by a Thousand Cuts or Much Ado about Nothing? The parliament passed the Right to Information (Amendment) Bill, 2019. The panel discussion with Alok Prasanna Kumar (Vidhi legal), Jayna Kothari, Vivek Reddy, Veeresh Bellur moderated by Revathy Ashok (BPAC) focuses on certain key issues such as:

Whether the proposed amendment harms the autonomy and independence of Information Commissions set up by the RTI Act, 2005?
How important is autonomy and independence for the Information Commissions and how can we ensure the same?
What is the role of the Information Commission in our democracy and how can this structure be made more transparent and accountable to the citizen?
Whether the RTI Act, 2005 was passed through the parliament “in a haste” and if some structural reforms are required?
