JAMMU, May 16: While allegations of nepotism and corruption forced Minister for Forest Mian Altaf to replace Managing Director (MD) of State Forest Corporation (SFC), skeletons have begun tumbling out of the cupboard.
Sources said that minister has already begun action against the guilty and those who were given undue benefits during Khan’s tenure but the fact remains that more is required to be done. Documents in possession of Early Times reveal that one Asif Ali Najjar, an employee of Jammu and Kashmir State Forest Corporation was given out of turn promotion from the post of Supervisor Grade 2nd, despite falling at serial No 27 in the seniority list of Supervisor Grade 2nd of Jammu region.
He was posted as Timber Passing Officer (a non-existing post) under order number 239 of 2010 and with in a period of four and half month, the same person was further promoted and posted as Incharge Divisional Manager vide order No SFC NO 604 of 2010. Out of turn promotion of a junior most officer was resented.
Appalled at the attitude of the then MD SFC Qayoom Khan, employees filed an application under RTI number 22-23/PIO/SFC to seek the reason behind the out of turn promotion to a particular employee. In response to the application the then Managing Director AQ Khan justified the posting on the grounds that Asif is trained in wood sciences and hence, has been promoted.
Khan also referred to court order in support of his wording. In another case, one Mohammed Ismayal who was Block Manager was promoted as Range Manager vide order No 829 of 2010 on ST category. His senior, Mohammed Hanief, who too belonged to ST, was also promoted as Range Manager.
Without admitting SFC’s fault which caused loss to the public exchequer, Chairman SFC to give advantage to blue eyed wrote “It is not admissible to revert an officer after 2 months of promotion “ and also desired” applicant Hanief be also promoted without consuming general quota as per rules ”.
The tail of nepotism does not end here as one Amir Mehraj has been given ride in the department through back doors besides 130 others. Further, Mohd Akram, minor, who was just 13 years old at the time of his appointment, has been appointed as Farash vide order number 489 of 2010. Date of birth document speaks in volumes about nepotism. An inquiry in this connection has been demanded by aggrieved employees.
