Early Times Report
Srinagar, Apr 6: Vigilance Organization Kashmir (VOK) raided the house of one corrupt official of Urban Local Bodies (ULB) known for calling shots over the years in department due to political patronage.
Taking cognizance of news reports published recently in Early Times sources said that a team of VOK officials raided Residence of in charge Executive officer of Achabal Municipal Committee at Mutton Anantnag today and searched his house for more than three hours.
Sources told ET that VOK officials had inputs that executive officer namely Bashir Ahmad Ganie has recently deal-out property in the form of land worth three crores in his area and they were looking for documents of the very Property deal in his home.
They said that official had been using all his political contacts over the years to pressurize Concerned anti-graft agencies to evade inquiries against him, however to his surprise VOK officials raided his house today and it is believed that VOK team have got some important clues about illegal property assets earned by the official while using his official position.
After series of stories by ET on favouritism by higher ups of the ULB towards influential Bashir Ahmad Ganie, concerned Department had freed him from additional charge of Executive officer at Mutton and posted at Achabal Municipal Committee.
ET had on January 12, 2016 reported that as part of political patronage to the black sheeps in the administration, the officials of ULB Directorate Kashmir booked by VOK are awarding multiple responsibilities rather than reprimanding them.
Bashir Ahmad Ganie who was one among four influential officers at ULB despite being booked by anti graft agencies in two cases was made in charge of two Municipal committees by higher ups of ULB, however later working on ET revelations authorities had freed him from additional charge awarded to him.
Three other influential officials were also awarded with multiple charges of Municipal committees who according to sources are involved in number of scams at various Municipal committees of Kashmir division.
Many executive officers are enjoying prime postings in spite of being booked by State Vigilance Organization in so many fraud cases of providing illegal appointments and swindling of Government funds. However, those who, (executive officers) refuse to compromise the ethics are attached or suspended without reason due to corruption bid market in Urban Local Bodies Kashmir." sources said.
Sources said that there are number of eligible officers, but due to malpractice in the local bodies, they are not being considered for these posts for some reasons better known to concerned officials.
"In the Directorate, more than two dozen officials are senior most and their names figure in for promotion to post of executive officers, but since the blue eyed had hijacked, the Directorate, the eligible are deliberately being ignored."Sources said
Pertinently Commissioner Housing and ULB on repeated times assured Early Times that he will take strict action against officials involved in malpractices; however sources informed that no action was taken against any official so far. |
