Letters from MPs - Babus to Reply Promptly
THE Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances (DAR&PG) has on various occasions impressed upon all the central Ministries/Departments that guidelines mentioned in the Central Secretariat Manual of Office Procedure (CS MOP) for handling letters received from Members of Parliament should be scrupulously followed. It stipulates that each communication received from Members of Parliament will be acknowledged within 15 days, followed by a reply within the next 15 days of acknowledgement sent.
The DoPT wants the officials to be suitably sensitized on the issue and are advised to send prompt reply to letters written by Members of Parliament.
