He warmed the Administration if the pending list of promotion from the post of Junior Engineer to Assistant Engineer, Assistant Engineer to Assistant Executive Engineer and Assistant Executive Engineer to Executive Engineer of Diploma Engineers are not issued within a stipulated time, the cadre will left with no option but to take the course of agitation.
