The post of accountant is vacant at District Postal Office, District Technicians’ Office, District Livestock Office, Agriculture Development Office, Prime Minister Agriculture Modernisation Project, District Coordination Committee’s Secretariat and District Election Office.

Accountant Ghanshyam Pokhrel, who is looking after Dudhpokhari Rural Municipality and District Land Revenue Office, complained that he was having a tough time working at two offices.
