Some officials and staffs from the districts also come to enquired about its functioning and staying of DC (E)”, says the staff further.

He said we are asked to submit our APAR at Namsai as per the government notification unfortunately absent of DCEZ at Namsai cost us much and delayed me to submit the APAR timely for the Departmental promotional Committee (DPC) at Directorate Itanagar.
