JAMMU, Sept 6 : Former Principal Chief Conservator of Forest (PCCF) Irshad Ahmed Khan superannuated on August 31, 2011 and not even a word was heard of him being greeted by top officers of Jammu and Kashmir forest department.
Forest secretariat did not even bother to send a word of appreciation to former PCCF for the years of service he put in Jammu and Kashmir. Instead, silent advisories were issued from top to bottom, asking officers to refrain from giving a warm farewell to Khan. Though not a word was said but, if forest officers are to be believed, all knew of the consequences of hosting lunch or dinner or even a tea party for Khan.
The man who 'honestly' headed the forest department from July 2006 to October 2009 retired in the same unceremonious manner in which he was ousted from the office of Principal Chief Conservator of Forest (PCCF) in October 2009. Officers, too junior to Khan's stature organised a farewell party, attended mostly by friends and close confidents of Khan.
It needs to be mentioned here that when former PCCF P.Patnaik retired, fore... | |
