Doda :- The Deputy Commissioner of Doda has ordered the suspension of an Assistant Executive Engineer (AEE) of the PMGSY Division, citing suboptimal performance and negligence in clearing snow-blocked rural roads.The suspension followed reports of dereliction of duty by the AEE during crucial winter periods.

An inquiry revealed that the AEE left his station without prior authorization and failed to resume his duties despite repeated directives.

He has been attached to the 24X7 Emergency Control Room at the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Doda until further orders.
