As the place given for holding additional charge is just 2 kilometres from her residence, whereas the place to which she is permanently posted viz., Vairavankuppam is about 20 kilometres, she has given a representation on 22.05.2017 stating that she has been working in the said school for the past 13 years and in view of the fact that two Noon Meal Centres are being handled, one Centre is https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
