UDHAMPUR, Mar 27: A complete bandh was observed in Latti town of Dudu Sub Division in district Udhmpur while people held protest demonstration against the pre-mature transfer of SDM, Baseer ul-Haq.
The people from Latti town and adjoining villages including Jakhed, Sira, Chappar, Panchound etc assembled in the town at around 12 noon today and held protest demonstration against Administration. Beopar Mandal Latti closed the entire market and joined protest demonstration under the leadership of LDC chairman Kasturi Lal Gupta, Ex-Sarpanch Latti Akhtar Hussain and Ex-Sarpanch Chappar, Ms Beant Gupta. Entire market remained closed during the day.
The people raised slogans against Govt and demanded that order be revoked. Gupta said that for long Dudu remained without SDM as additional charge was given to SDM Basantgarh. Later, Dr Tahir Firdous was placed as SDM Dudu but he was also shifted just after three months. Now, after long time a young and dedicated IAS officer Baseer- Ul-Haq was placed as SDM but unfortunately he too, was lifted just after 5 months, keeping post unattended. The officer was performing very well and covering entire division on foot and taking keen interest in public issues and implementing Govt schemes. He termed this move as conspiracy against remote Dudu Sub Division and warned an agitation.
The Latti Development Committee sought intervention of Chief Minister and Chief Secretary into the matter.
