The officials informed Secretary to the CM Sunil Kumar Barnwal during weekly review of Mukhyamantri Jan Samvad today that the notices had been sent to everyone. They also said that the action against them would follow after second and last notices to them.
Barnwal also ordered department nodal official and computer operator to get over 500 pending complaints related to Housing Development department rectified at the earliest.

The issue of irregularities in construction of playgrounds in Barachamru, Patrahatu and Dawaru under Silli and Basantpur and Basiya under Rahe also remained among important cases of discussion during the review meeting, which Barnwal took note of 12 cases on Wednesday.
