In an application addressed to the superintending engineer,PWD (buildings), Shillong building cycle, on March 7 this year, Sutnga had sought the VRS.
Sutnga said in the application that though the due date of retirement is more than five years, he wanted the VRS to enable him to take party in his ‘political activity’.
