BAITADI, MAR 12 - Activities have been affected in government offices in Baitadi district as they are without chiefs.
Service seekers are forced to return empty-handed as chiefs of over a dozen offices are out of the district. Moreover, lack of effort to fill the vacant posts has aggravated the situation.

"We are unable to serve people," said Karki. No initiative has been taken to solve the problem even if we informed the centre of it.
The posts of chief at the District Soil Conservation Office and the District Survey Office have lain vacant for years. Chief District Officer Murari Prasad Sharma and Deputy Superintendent of Police Suka Dev Neupane are out of district.
