SRINAGAR: Officials of the Block Development Office Wagoora in North Kashmirs Baramulla district were allegedly thrashed by the supporters of local MLA after they objected the occupation of local Panchayat Ghar by the Tehsildar Kreeri.
Eyewitnesses said that the shifting of tehsildhar office from Community Hall to Local Panchayat Ghar didnt go well with the local population. They accused the local MLA, Syed Basharat Bukhari of shifting the tehsildar office for his political benefits and for their disadvantage.
Following the forcible shifting of tehsildhar to Panchayat ghar, the Block Development Officer (BDO) Wagoora raised objection to tehsildhar occupation of Panchayat ghar. He sought permission from the tehsildhar to take possession of the Panchayat ghar. We provided the Tehsildhar the Supreme Court stricture that no government machinery can occupy the Panchayat land or any of its building. However, the workers of the local MLA thrashed us. We then went to police and filed a complaint before the Kreeri police station, an official Habibullah in Block Development Office Wagoora said adding that they arewaiting for police action.
SHO feigned ignorance about the incident while local MLA did not respond to repeated phone calls.
