Early Times Report
Kishtwar, July 6: The PHE Minister on Monday ordered attachment of an Executive Engineer, who was allegedly intimidating his subordinates to indulge in a fraud.
Sources told Early Times that minister today attached the Executive Engineer with the office of Chief Engineer Irrigation and Flood Control Kashmir vide Government order No:176-PW(Hyd) of 2015 dated: 06-07-2015.
The Executive Engineer, sources alleged, was forcing and pressurizing his subordinate staff to prepare roll Sheets and attendance statement of hundreds of illegally engaged need base casual laborers during 2014 and out of which some of need base casual laborers were shown engaged from 2013.
These illegally appointed need base casual labors were also paid their wages for some months out of the funds meant for different developmental works and out of O&M which hampered the smooth functioning of different Water Supply Schemes falling under the jurisdiction of his division.
The said officer according to sources also unauthorizedly had given the additional charge to one JE (Mech) of Rural Mechanical Sub-division Srinagar Soura to another sub-division of Peripheral Mechanical Sub-division HMT Srinagar to clear the bills of his blue eyed contractors that too in the fag end of the financial year during the month of Feb-March 2015, when the already posted-JE of Peripheral Mechanical Sub-division HMT Srinagar resisted the move and refused to compromise on the standard of works he was allegedly reprimanded by the Executive Engineer.
The action on part of the government comes in wake of aftermath of news report carried by Early Times in its edition on 17th June-2015 and Ist July-2015 which highlighted these issues following which heads of PHE, I&FC departments took the decision to attach the said Executive Engineer (Mech), though the order for enquiry is still awaited from the ministry of PHE, I&FC which according to sources would be issued soon.
The sources said that at the same time Minister of PHE, I&FC missed to look at one Executive Engineer who was transferred prematurely in the same order from MID Anantnag to price posting of PHE Ground Water Division Srinagar along with 12 other Executive Engineers vide Government order No: 176-PW(Hyd) of 2015 dated:06-07-2015. The said officer according to sources has continuously worked for more than 10 years on deputation in PHE, I&FC and is reluctant to serve in his parent department of Public works(R&B). He has also worked as AEE (Mech) in PHE Ground Water Division Srinagar during the year 2010 to 2013 and during this period he also engaged many illegal need base casual laborers in this division.
As far his qualification is concerned, the sources said that he has done some certificate diploma course in Aeronautical Engineering, where as his name doesn't exist in the seniority list of diploma holders (Mech) nor Degree holders (Mech) prior to his promotion in 2006 which was issued vide order No: 207-PW(R&B) of 2006 dated: 22-05-2006 after the much publication through leading news papers vide order No: 414-PW(R&B) of 2005 dated:17-10-2005.
In the same transfer order another Executive Engineer was also prematurely transferred from PHE Mech Division North Sopore within a year of his stay to adjust influential Executive Engineer at the said division.
More or less some officials of the PHE Kashmir appreciated the action taken by the Minister and hoped same action would be taken against others who have not been transferred from their present place of posting from last several years.
