DODA: The Deputy Commissioner Doda, Harvinder Singh today chaired a meeting of the District Rent Assessment Committee (RAC) to review and assess rent cases of various government departments functioning from rented accommodations across the district. During the meeting, the committee held detailed deliberations on rent proposals submitted by different departments.
