Meanwhile, talking to media persons on the sidelines of this function, Provincial President Kashmir Mohammad Ashraf Mir said the district administration Budgam should take serious cognizance of the peoples’ complaints regarding unnecessary absence of SDM and Tehsildar Beerwah from their duties.“The people of Beerwah are immensely suffering because of the unwanted absence of these officers from their offices,” Mir remarked, adding that on the one hand the government is boosting about making employees accountable for the lack of performance and on the other hand some officers believe they are unaccountable and enjoy impunity even after showing poor performance on the ground.
