Our response to your request is due on Feb 28, 2020 08:20:43 AM. Unfortunately, it is taking longer than expected to deal with your request because the data needed is not available in the CDA Central Office and the same has been coordinated with the concerned CDA Extension Office. Further, this Authority has implemented work from home arrangements relative to the enhanced community quarantine due to the COVID 19 outbreak. I apologize for this delay but have applied for an extension so we could work further on your request. We hope to be able to send you a response on or before Mar 27, 2020 08:20:43 AM.
