With a view to minimize complications arising out of the multi-desks approach of the past, all formalities relating to the registration, nominations, transit accommodation and a host of other matters are proposed to be got completed with minimum movement of Members.
The Secretariat has made arrangements from 2 p.m. on June 24 and the process will remain operational from 10 am to 8 pm from June 5 to June 14, 2024 including on Saturdays and Sundays.
