Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 27: As Early Times report on obsolete information available on official website of J&K Tourism Department became viral on social media, the department removed all the information from the who is who column of the website. This can be authenticated from the fact that when this column is accessed the link no more shows the obsolete information. The link now reads "the page you are looking for might have been removed "
As reported already J&K Tourism which spends lavishly on tourism promotion outside State and Country has not bothered to update its official website from last more than 1 year as all the misleading and obsolete information is available in public domain which is bringing a disrepute to this department and state.
The official website of Tourism Department www.jktourism.org until the news report published by Early Times on Wednesday became public showed name of Tasaduq Mufti as J&K's Tourism Minister. The so called website also showed name of Sarmad Hafiz as Secretary Tourism. Mehmood Ahmad Shah who is presently Director Industries & Commerce Kashmir was transferred almost 9 months back from Tourism department. He was posted as Regional Director Land Records South Kashmir for 8 months as well , but his name is still was there on the official website until Wednesday morning . Simitha Sethi who is posted as Administrator Associated hospitals Govt Medical College Jammu from last

year continues to be the Director Tourism Jammu as per the official website .
In addition to it names of around 4 Deputy Directors who were transferred more than 1 year back from Directorate of Tourism Kashmir continue to be there on the official website. For reference of readers the web-link http://jktourism. org/ whos-who.html can be accessed for more details.
The officers like Riyaz Ahmad Beigh , Waseem Raja and Peerzada Zahoor who were posted in the Directorate of Tourism Kashmir more than a year back still continue to be Deputy Directors Tourism Kashmir as per the details available on official website www.jktourism.org/ whos-who
" On one hand Toursim Department organizes tourism promotion events in Bankok , Mumbai , Chennai and Ahmedabad at the cost of taxpayers money . From last 2 to 3 years crores of rupees have been spend on these programmes but when it comes to maintaining the official websites , the officials who are incharge of this job seem to have no time to update their own website on regular basis. By not updating the official website the officials are infact misleading the tourists and tour operators across country. These officials get hefty salaries and in return they do nothing. I hope Advisor to Governor Mr Khurshid Ganai , the incharge of Tourism department who is himself outside the state right now on a tourism promotion will take the officials to task. " said Pawan Kumar a tour operator from Jammu
