Mujeeb is an autorickshaw driver from Malappuram who used Right to Information Act (RTI) to address issues of public misappropriation.
With his very limited resources, he set up a robust working space in his small home. The move to install functional meters in autorickshaws was a result of his engagement with the government using RTI.
One of most notable interventions was his effort to save public land which belonged to a public library in his native place in Malappuram from being mis appropriated by vested interests. He used the RTI to collect basic details and went upto the High Court to fight the case, which is still going on.
He is now coordinating the RTI movement in the district and the state.
