Poonch, Feb 4 :Criticising the revenue department for its alleged dismal functioning, senior girdawars of the district have expressed their anger for appointing a 'junior most' girdawar as 'in charge' Naib-Tehsildar at Balakote.
Ashfaq Ahmed Wani, who has been posted as in charge naib-tehsildar, was a patwari in 2010, sources said, adding that he was also suspended by then deputy commissioner, Poonch, A K Sahu. Later, he was attached at Mandi.
Sources in revenue department said though an inquiry was initiated against Ashfaq in 2011-13, he was reinstated and appointed girdawar in 2014. As girdawar, he was deputed in circle No 2 of Mendhar where he had been working for six months, the sources added.
Mendhar tehsildar Salam Din releases his salary from Mendhar but he is appointed as 'look out' naib-tehsildar, Balakote. Senior girdawars regretted that while they were ignored, a junior had been posted as 'in charge' naib-tehsildar.
Sources claimed that only the financial commissioner had been vested the powers to appoint a junior girdawar as 'look out' or in charge naib-tehsildar. |
