Similarly, Secretary to the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers Mahendra Guragain informed that arrangements have been made for the Chief District Officer to operate the service by setting criteria to manage the urgent works that may fall on the people due to orders issued by the District Administration Office in various places keeping in view the corona infection.
