Taking part in a face-to-face programme organised by the Reporters’ Club Nepal here today, he assured of addressing the employees’ complaints through a committee formed for the same purpose. The Complaints Management Committee was constituted with the realization that complaints would come in regard with the adjustment process.

He pledged re-adjustment in cases of those employees adjusted far from the previous office, those couple adjusted in different places, and of physically disabled with chronic diseases.
