DC Srinagar orders suspension of 6 Patwaris, departmental enquiry initiated

Srinagar: Taking cognizance of the dereliction of duties by some officials of Revenue Department, the Deputy Commissioner (DC) Srinagar, Mohammad Aijaz Asad today suspended six Revenue Officials (Patwaris).

In an order issued today, the Deputy Commissioner suspended six Patwaries who were transferred vide NO. 21-DCS of 2021 on August 02, 2021 but failed to comply with the orders. Though the said Patwaries were informed several times to join their new place of postings, the officials failed to comply with the orders.

The reluctance of said officials to join in the Patwar halqas where they have been posted recently has caused inconvenience to the general public of the said halqas and a serious notice has been taken in this regard.

All the suspended Patwaris were attached with the office of Deputy Commissioner, Srinagar. Furthermore the Assistant Commissioner Revenue, Srinagar has been asked to conduct an immediate enquiry in the dereliction of duties and submit the findings along with the recommendations within seven days of the issuance of the order.
