LEH, Mar 1: To review the progress of ongoing developmental project works, Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh, Brigadier (Dr) BD Mishra (Retd) held a review meeting here today.
During the meeting LG Mishra also discussed the grievances faced by the public concerning their respective departments.
At the outset, Executive Councillor, LAHDC Kargil, Syed Mujtaba Musavi raised the need to delegate powers of tehsildar to the naib-tehsildar posted at Tresponse block headquarters for the smooth operation of the daily works in the TSG block.
Advisor to the LG, Dr Pawan Kotwal, apprised the LG of the Law Department’s recommendation regarding delegating limited powers of tehsildar to the naib-tehsildar.
The LG asked the Advisor to delegate whatever power of tehsildar is possible within the permissible law to the naib-tehsildar posted at Trespone block headquarters.
LG Mishra highlighted the need to submit plans for works under various schemes for the next financial year by the first week of March so that funds could be allocated at the earliest for completing the said works under the schemes or punitive action would be taken against the erring official.
He also directed Ladakh Police to make wearing helmets mandatory for two-wheelers in Ladakh and asked DC Leh, who is the Chairperson of District Subordinate Services Recruitment Board (DSSRB), to prepare subject-specific question papers and not general question papers for subject-specific posts advertised by the Board for recruitment purposes.
