AGRA: In an unusual RTI, a Chhattisgarh resident has requested the Mathura district authorities to provide the copy of Lord Krishna’s birth certificate along with the proof that Krishna was a God. The query has left officials flummoxed regarding the kind of information that should be provided to the applicant.

Talking to TOI, public information officer, Ramesh Chandra, said, “It is difficult to find answers to questions that are related to public faith and personal beliefs. We are confused what to do with the query and do not know how to respond to it. We can only provide information that is available to us in the system and cannot create any.”

In the RTI application, Jainendra Kumar Gendle, a resident of Bilaspur district, has stated, “The government of India has declared September 3 as a national holiday on account of Krishna Janmashtami. Please provide a copy of Lord Krishna’s birth certificate to prove that he was born on this day in Mathura.”

Reacting to the query, Vrindavan priest Rasiya said, “According to the Hindu calendar, Lord Krishna was born on the eighth day of Krishna Paksha in Bhadra month.”
