The inquiry revealed that Raj Kumar had 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 officer 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 office of DC Doda until further notice.
To ensure smooth operations, Mukesh Kumar, Assistant Executive Engineer (AEE) 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 existing duties.
