In 1969, the third CTPD decided to call an Annual (National Level) General Meeting instead of the existing bi-annual meetings. The Deputies gained considerable experience in the workings of the administration while they were attached with the departments. By the end of the third CTPD, they began to oversee the
working of the entire CTA by scrutinising the administration and holding the Kashag responsible for any lapses in redressing public grievances. Thus, the Commission acted as a bridge between the people and the administration. This was the turning point in the functioning of the legislative body.
