The ACD in his letter urged the BDO to submit the Action Taken Report (ATR) within day positively and ensure that NYC should not in any case work independently for Panchayat and asked him that the possibilities be explored to utilize the service of NYC on the job which does not have financial implications.
The ACD in his earlier letters had made it clear to the BDO that the NYC has not mandate to work in place of GRS and assigning him the duties of GRS is in total violation of the directions passed by the higher authorities from time to time.
