The letter from the DC mentions that during the review, it was found that many mutation cases are pending in the circles. Clear instructions have been given for compliance with the Jharkhand State Guarantee of Services Act, 2011. Despite this, the failure to resolve mutation cases in a timely manner reflects lethargy and negligence.

In fact, 41 cases are pending in the City zone, 37 in the Kanke zone, 25 in the Ratu zone, 20 in the Hehal zone, 17 in the Bundu zone and 33 in the Argora zone for 30 days or more.
