Mufti rule gone, but Tassaduq Mufti is still Tourism Minister! | Official websites yet to be updated | | Early Times Report Jammu, June 25: The PDP-BJP coalition regime in Jammu and Kashmir is gone but websites of many government departments still show ministers holding portfolios. Ashok Sharma, a travel agent, said that on opening the website of Directorate of Tourism Jammu, one can notice that it has not been updated as it shows Tassaduq Hussain Mufti as Minister for Tourism while Shakti Raj Parihar is Minister of State for Tourism. "The department spent crores rupees on road shows in different states to attract tourists for visiting Jammu and Kashmir, but the department has failed to update its website for the past several months, which is surprising", Ashok Sharma said. The Tourism website is not an isolated case. The website of Transport Department has not been updated where Sunil Sharma continues to be the minister of the department. Likewise, the website of Power Development Department has not been updated for last several months, as Nirmal Kumar Singh continues to be the minister of the said department. "A cursory look at various official websites gives a clear picture of the lackadaisical implementation of much-boasted e-governance programme in Jammu and Kashmir", Ashok said, adding that to maintained the websites of departments, government has deputed employees to each department but the higher officials of department has deputed these employees for other works. |
