| Tehsildar gheroed, locked in office in Poonch | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Jan 23:
The Poonch district Tehsildar today faced the public ire when
driven by a strong feeling of displeasure and hostility against him, over a hundred people gheroed him and then locked him in his office
for his alleged non-availability to them for the past over a
month.
Tehsildar Abdul Razak's office was allegedly found locked
whenever people from different Poonch areas visited him to get
their works done.
As it was found locked today also, people staged a
demonstration outside his office in Poonch town amidst raising
of slogans.
Official sources said when Razak came to know about the protest
against him, he immediately reached his office. The moment the
people saw him, they gheroed him which led to heated exchange
of words between them.
Sources said the exchange of hot words between them continued
for quite sometime. Later, when Razak opened the lock of his
office and stepped inside, the agitated people locked him from
outside.
However, following an assurance from him that he would daily
attend office, the people freed him. He remained confined in
the office for more than half an hour, the sources added.
Sources said as the four posts of Naib-Tehsildars in Poonch
were lying vacant, people needed the presence of the tehsildar
for obtaining refugee certificates and getting other works
done.
Razak was to retire on March 31 this year.
