Jumla's Tila Rural Municipality Faces Administrative Paralysis After Four Months Without Chief Administrative Officer

Jumla. Tila Rural Municipality has been without a Chief Administrative Officer for four months. The daily operations of the rural municipality have been affected because the concerned ministry has not sent a replacement employee to the vacant post left by the transferred Chief Administrative Officer, informed Rural Municipality Chairman Motilal Rokaya.

Due to the absence of an administrative officer, works including the payment for several completed projects have stalled. There is a complaint that despite the rural municipality sending letters to the concerned ministry requesting them to send an administrative officer, there has been no response. Rural Municipality Chairman Rokaya stated that the ministry responded by saying that a Chief Administrative Officer would only be sent after the formation of the new government.

The previous Chief Administrative Officer, Suresh Bhattarai, was transferred in the second week of Magh. Due to the absence of the Chief Administrative Officer, even the salaries of the employees have not been disbursed since Falgun.
