My apologies, I forgot to mention the working timings. As far as attending phone calls and personal visits is concerned, for the initial few weeks we will work from 9.45 am to 5.30 pm. We will remain closed on sundays as of now. Very soon this service will start working from 9 am to 9 pm. Please note that if you are interacting via email, then you can expect response beyond these timings as well since the mails will be tracked at several places.
