WOKHA, AUG 10 (NPN): Lotha Youth Hoho (LYH) on August 10 conducted visits to various government offices in Wokha and Bhandari as a follow up to its recent directive calling for strict adherence to office timings and addressing complaints of irregular attendance among government employees.
In Wokha, the Hoho inspected the offices of the Deputy Commissioner, PWD (R&B), PWD (Mechanical), PWD (Housing), Legal Metrology, Statistical, Treasury, Art & Culture, Labour, District Information & Public Relations (DIPR), DSCO, District Youth Resource, and Food & Civil Supplies departments.
During the inspection in Bhandari, the PWD (R&B) office was found completely shut, while only three Grade IV staff were present at the Soil Department office, with two employees reportedly on leave. The Rural Development Block Office, Bhandari, was also found closed.
