Employment Deptt Bandipora functioning from single room at mini-sectt

Bandipora: The local residents and the employees of Department of employment in north Kashmir’s Bandipora district suffer due to lack of space for the office. The office building was converted into quarantine centre earlier this year but has not been handed over since then.
An official said that the department was later allotted a single room in mini-secretariat Bandipora which is not enough to run the affairs of the department. The official said that the employees working in the department as well as the local visiting the office are made to run from pillar to post due to lack of space here.
He said that a few days ago they were asked to vacate this single room also as after some CRPF personnel and policemen from DPL Bandipora tested positive. “Even though the security personnel who had tested positive have recovered and there is no one in the quarantine centre, the building is yet to be vacated and the employees of the department were also made to suffer for want of space. The visitors too have to face a lot of difficulties in visiting the employment office,” the official said.
Meanwhile, the locals who visited the office said that they are being made to run from pillar to post as they don’t know where the office is functioning. “There is no proper space for the office and we even don’t know where the office is currently functioning”. The locals appealed Deputy Commissioner Bandipora Owais Ahmad to personally look into the matter.
