He revealed that on the receipt of persistent complaints from Gulmarg Bachav Committee and the inhabitants of Budgam town, the Director Urban Local Bodies, Kashmir constituted a three-member committee in the month of August last year to initiate the enquiry into the allegations of illegal appointments made in MC Tangmarg/Gulmarg and Kunzer and building permissions issued in MC Budgam and MC Tangmarg. He regretted that more than six months had passed but the enquiry committee failed to consider the case.
