Doda, December,30 :
The Deputy Commissioner Doda has ordered suspension of Assistant Executive Engineer (AEE) PMGSY Division Doda, citing suboptimal performance and negligence in clearing snow-blocked rural roads. The suspension came after reports of dereliction of duty by the AEE during crucial winter periods.
The inquiry revealed that the AEE left his station without prior authorization and failed to resume his duties despite repeated directives. This absence led to delays in road clearance, creating difficulties for residents in accessing critical services. The administration emphasized that such behavior is unbecoming of a public servant, particularly during emergencies demanding efficient responses.
The order noted that the AEE had been reprimanded multiple times for his casual approach and failure to perform his duties. He has now been attached to the 24X7 Emergency Control Room at the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Doda till further orders.
To ensure smooth operations, Mukesh Kumar, Assistant Executive Engineer PWD, Doda, and Umar Jan, Assistant Engineer PWD, Bhagwah, have been directed to oversee the responsibilities of the PMGSY Sub Divisions in addition to their own duties.
This decisive action underscores the administration’s commitment to maintaining accountability and ensuring timely public service delivery in adverse weather conditions. — (KIMS)
