DoE: Avoid Submitting Representations to PM or Secretary
It is imperative that all employees working under the Central Government adhere to the protocol of submitting their requests for representation concerning service matters through the appropriate channels, rather than sending them directly to higher authorities. This is a strict directive that must be followed without exception.
