“The Block Veterinary Officer and the Executive Engineer shall explain the position and submit the action taken report,” an official said quoting ADC Sopore, adding, “The erring government employees were identified as Javaid Ahmed Sheikh of Panzulla Rafiabad and Nazir Ahmed Changa of Noor Bagh posted in Irrigation and Flood Control (I & FC) department and Animal Husbandry (Veterinary) department respectively.”
Meanwhile, the ADC said that the steps are being taken by the administration to ensure punctuality in government offices. “These drives shall continue in the future as well.”
