Srinagar: In a people friendly gesture, Deputy Commissioner Srinagar Dr Shahid Iqbal Choudhary Monday visited the house of a District Development Council (DDC) candidate at Harwan to administer her oath as she wasn’t able to attend the official oath ceremony held at Tagore hall.
Dr Shahid visited Harwan area of Srinagar outskirts to administer oath to DDC candidate, an expecting mother, who won the elections. “A DDC candidate Rizwana Akther, who won DDC polls recently but couldn’t attend Monday’s oath ceremony, was administered oath as she is expecting,” an official said.
Locals of Harwan area of Srinagar hailed DC Srinagar’s efforts and said “Dr Shahid is People’s DC.” “This is how an official of higher rank should behave.”
