The councilor is acting as an impediment in the overall functioning of the municipal committee and same has not gone well with the overall employee fraternity of the municipal committee,” said sources.

Following this the Executive Officer, Municipal Committee, Awantipora shot a correspondence to the President Municipal Committee, Awantipora asking him to take necessary action against the councilor.
On this the President of Municipal Committee, Awantipora issued a show cause notice to the councilor on May 29, 2021 and asked him to explain his position within two days before any action is taken against him.
