Last date — computed, read carefully

The notice says only "within 15 days from the date of publication of this advertisement"; the actual newspaper publication date was not read. Fifteen days from the 31 October 2026 covering letter works out to 15 November 2026, and that computed date is used here. The computation basis is stated plainly in this post, and the notice does not say whether the 15 days count from receipt or dispatch. Do NOT use the "06 January 2027" figure that appears in one job site's additional details — it is unsupported by the notice.
