Referring to its letter number PCC/23/22 dated May 12, 2022, the delegation of Uttarakhand Pradesh Congress Committee said that the Congress party had opposed the appointment of Narendra Singh Bhandari as District Magistrate Champawat as he had appointed a district nodal officer allegedly after the announcement of the elections there.

It warned that, if appropriate action is not taken on the request, then the party would also present its case in this regard before the Election Commission of India.
