DOLPA, Nov 3: A total of 16 government offices in the district are currently without chiefs.
Many office chiefs and employees, who had gone home to celebrate festivals like Dashain, Tihar and Chhath, are yet to report to work even days after the festivals finished, thus affecting service delivery, service seekers said.

Despite direction by the concerned ministry and the Regional Office after the problem was taken up with the 'Hello Sarkar', a hotline at the Prime Minister's Office to listen to people's grievances, the absentee government employees are yet to return to work, he said. RSS
