​​​​​​​Procedure for disciplinary actions:

  If ANURDO deems necessary to take disciplinary action against any staff, the staff will be first oriented about the charges and the reasons of such charges in the written form (cautionary letter) by line manager. If the situation is not improved within a month a warning letter will be issued by higher authority. No improvement will further lead to issuance of second warning letter from the same authority after two weeks of first warning letter. Ultimately final termination letter will be issued by the Director General after a week of second warning letter if the management sees no possibility for improvement.
