Decision due to extreme heat

Leave applications from Subdivision Officer level to Engineers will be sent to higher level through Executive Engineer and Chief Engineer. Leave will be granted only after final approval.
If you go on leave without notice, action will be taken
The electricity department has warned that strict action will be taken against employees going on leave without permission or notice. The department says that maintaining power supply is the biggest priority during this summer season.
