All offices are requested to complete/correct the APAR mapping during this period as no further extension will be given in this regard. For this, all officials may be informed about the reopening of APAR mapping functionality so that those officials whose APAR mapping could not be done or needs to be corrected can get it done through the APAR Custodian.
