For taking mass casual leave today and tomorrow, the Works Commissioner has issued explanation call to civil engineers of Works Department.
The explanation call was served following an official meeting presided by Chief Minister O Ibobi and attended by the Works Minister and the Works Commissioner.
Works Minister K Ranjit said that the Works Commissioner was instructed to seek written explanation from the 85 civil engineers for taking mass casual leave.
Subsequently, the Works Commissioner has served explanation call to the engineers seeking their reply within seven days.
The civil engineers resolved to take mass casual leave in protest against the Government order which empowered the senior most Superintending Engineer to grant technical sanction to any work/project after which counter-sign of the Chief Engineer should be obtained.
