Meanwhile, some of the officers who were assigned the job to be on night duty at the collectorate were allegedly found sleeping on the intervening night of Thursday. “There is lack of a sense of responsibility in the administration when it comes to crucial duties like Sagar Kavach. It is high time that the importance of the same is inculcated in them before any untoward thing happens,” said the observer.
