Sources said that, despite bringing some changes in the department concerned, the officials at various MCs are still enjoying the powers upon which they were directed by the higher officials not to violate the rules that will defame the department at large.
For an instance, the Administrator MC Leh of Ladakh division relieved its employee on 6-2-2018 vide no: MCL/P/2018/2328-31 Dated 5-2-2018.
