MENDHAR, Mar 20 : Following the detection of his alleged attempt to misappropriate government material, a probe has been initiated against an assistant engineer (AE), who heads technical section in the block development office, Mendhar.
Official sources said BDO, Mendhar, Mohammad Rafiq Choudhary passed an estimate submitted to him a few days back by the junior engineer (JE) and a VLW of a Mendhar panchayat for raising three crates in the village.
Sources said AE, technical, Sikandar Hussain, who looks after the work of BDO office in the absence of Rafiq Choudhary, allegedly tempered with the official document and changed the estimate of three crates to 33 crates.
When this document was submitted to the storekeeper for release of material of 33 crates, locals, who came to know about it, protested. Following this, the BDO brought the matter to the notice of ACD and DC, Poonch. When contacted, ACD, Poonch, Shoukat Mehmood Malik said the AE had been attached, pending inquiry against him. "On the direction of DC, Poonch, I have started a probe into the alleged incident. I have been asked to submit the report within one week," Malik said. |
