By PTI||5 min read at The New Indian Express
In brief
The Cabinet Secretariat took no action on complaints by Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi regarding an Election Commission officer, stating the communications were in their individual capacity and that action could be construed as interference in a constitutional body.

The Cabinet Secretary acknowledged the complaints and marked copies to relevant departments and the Chief Election Commissioner.
