| Tehsildar Nowshera suspended for dereliction in duty | | | Early Times Report
Rajouri, Dec. 28: District Magistrate Rajouri has ordered suspension of Tehsildar Nowshera, Qadeer Ul Rehman for his unauthorised absence from an urgent Law and Order duty without any information to the district administration.
The matter of his absence from duty came to fore during a law and order problem that erupted in Nowshera Town on Thursday 27.12.2018.
On Wednesday, one Bodh Raj, resident of Deeing, lost his life on line of control where he was deployed as an army porter and got killed in a militancy related incident near LoC in Nowhera.
On Thursday, after post mortem examination of the body of deceased, his family members and relatives kept the body on road leading to bus stand and blocked it for traffic and started a protest demanding compensation for the victim's family. Soon after the information of protest was received by district administration through police and other intelligence agencies, multiple calls were made from DC office Rajouri to Tehsildar Nowshera to get a briefing about the situation to pacify the protest. He was also called from personal contact number of the District Magistrate thrice but he failed to respond and didn't even call back.
Despite repeated calls by the District Administration as well as from other senior officers of administration, Tehsildar Nowshera gave no response and then it came to fore that the officer had left the station without taking permission from the competent authority and due to his absence district administration faced tough time in handling the situation. Public calls received from the spot revealed that officer was not present there. Sensing trouble due to protest, district administration rushed Tehsildar Qila Darhal on the spot who performed the magisterial duties and got the protestors pacified after several hours of negotiation. As, Additional Deputy Commissioner Nowshera has been deputed for a training programme by state government, it was very important for Tehsildar Nowshera to remain present at the station round the clock but he remained negligent towards the Law and Order issue despite the fact that the unfortunate incident happened a day before the episode.
Besides, Tehsildar Nowshera also violated directions from higher authorities in which an officer cannot leave the station without the permission of district authorities.
Alongwith this, Additional Deputy Commissioner Nowshera also informed district administration that Tehsildar Nowshera was not even present on duty during post mortem examination of the body of deceased. Taking note of this gross official misconduct and behaviour unbecoming of a public servant on part of Tehsildar Nowshera, District Magistrate Rajouri has placed him under suspension with immediate effect and attached him in the office of Assistant Commissioner Revenue Rajouri. Tehsildar Qila Darhal has been asked to look after the charge of Tehsildar Nowshera till further orders. |
