COMMENTS
Yes, you are absolutely right. Staffnews publishes correctly any letters etc with original letter uploaded. Thanks for Staffnews.
Why DR order is not issued simultaneously with DA orders.
Only under Secretary signs the notification.moreover the file number is erroneous. Unbelievable. DA or DR will come on its usual course after it is published in official website
It is on official website. Staffnews publishes only authentic orders available on official website of Govt.
