FALEBAS, Parbat, Oct 10: Chief Secretary Lilamani Poudel has directed government staff in Parbat and Baglung district to be devoted to service of the citizens.
He directed the employees of both the districts by organizing a program in Parbat on Wednesday, when Paudel was here to declare Myagdi district as open defecation free district.
The employees have to play effective role as the politics of the country has not been stable. He also directed to work without violating constitution and laws no matter whose party comes to government.
Chief Secretary Poudel urged to give special emphasis on development works including on education and health. He also directed the security bodies to be alert on security during the festival time, and urged to monitor market regularly.
