The issue was first raised by PDP district president Shakir Hussain Siddiqui in the meeting chaired by the Qamar Ali Akhoon, Minister for Consumer affair and Public Distribution Department.
Siddiqui quoted the news item published in this newspaper and informed the minister that GREF officials in Kishtwar district were indulged in sub standard work in construction of drains / roads in Kishtwar district particularly from Malipath Chowk to Girinager Kishtwar.
He informed the minister that despite bringing the matter into the notice of district administration, the sub standard work on behalf of the GREF is still going on.
