Anantnag, Apr 11: : Director of Urban Local Bodies (ULB), Kashmir, Tufail Matoo has placed Executive Officer (EO) of Tral Municipal Committee (TMC) under suspension for visiting Jammu secretariat without permission.
TMC EO Bashir Ahmad Nanda was camping in Jammu unauthorisedly since the formation of new PDP-BJP government, official sources alleged. They said that the officer hadn't acquired requisite permission for leaving his station and neither had applied for leave.
"He was spotted by me around Jammu secretariat and on enquiring, I came to know that he had not sought the requisite permission to leave the station," the director told Early Times.
He said the EO was immediately placed under suspension and the charge of TMC and Municipal Committee, Yaripora, was given to EOs of nearby civic bodies.
Asked whether the official was present in swearing-in ceremony also, he said, "I don't have any idea."
Sources, however, alleged that the EO had also attended the swearing-in ceremony of Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and council of Ministers held in Jammu a week earlier.
However, a relative of the officer claimed that he was in Jammu for a private task.
