The expression "Territorial Officers" is not a recognised expression.
The problem suggested in the question is not a general problem and cannot be dealt with in an answer given in general terms. It can only be that the cases of certain individuals occupy the attention of the Deputy and if the detailed information asked for arising out of his question yesterday is furnished the matter will have attention.
