The Chairman highlighted that a scheme of National Awards for bravery for children were many a times ignored.

In the matter of up-gradation of Akhuluto SDO (C) to that of ADC Hq, EAC Hq Asuto to that of SDO (C) and opening of new EAC Hq at Tuzu Island, the Board could not recommend it due to the ongoing census.
