Another day and yet another initiative by AIB to strike up further conversations with the higher-ups! In our previous blog, we had mentioned about getting appointments with Member (P&V) as well as JS (Admin) to discuss about various issues plaguing the Ministerial cadre.  Click here to read more about it Similarly, many of you would also be well aware that with respect to the issue of insertion of retention/protection clause in the RRs of Executive Assistant, DOPT had returned back the file with a query.  In this regard, a letter is being sent to Sh.
