They said that since the Governor’s rule only a single file under the said SRO has been cleared while as scores of such cases are gathering dust in the offices.
“Chief Secretary is to be asked why he isn’t clearing our cases, if this SRO is wrong, then, tell us and at the same time cancelled all other appointments made under the said SRO,” said Shahnawaz from Kupwara.
“We have met the Governor thrice, we met the Advisors umpteen times; there is not a single person whom we have not met in the Secretariat,” they said
He said that 48 cases were cleared during the PDP-BJP Government since then, nothing really has happened.
