SRINAGAR, July 19: Scores of senior forest officials of Tangmarg division today protested against what they called the illegal promotion of one of their colleagues by the department.
The protesting employees said that they were surprised to see that Imtiyaz Ahmad Khan, who was working as social forestry worker in Tangmarg division has been promoted as Range Officer and posted at territorial range Gulmarg.
Ghulam Hassan Bhat, President Forest Division Tangmarg said that Khan has been illegally posted on the vital post after he was promoted by using his political influence.
“Imtiyaz Ahmad Khan is only middle pass and for the post of Range Office, one should have technical qualification in Kashmir Forestry Course (KFC) or atleast 20 years of experience as Forester in the department,” Bhat said, adding, Khan doesn’t have relevant qualification for the post.
The employees demanded that Khan’s Order No. 184 released on 18th of this month be cancelled, otherwise, they would go for indefinite strike.
