RE: [HumJanenge] PUBLIC GRIEVANCE: Undisclosed conflict of interest of Dr. N.C.Saxena (member/NAC)

I fully agree with the points raised by Dr sarabjit that  person who is already employed with a firm located aboroad should notbe appointed in NAC. He should first resign from earlier post and then join the new assignment
