Another IAS officer in soup as CPWD engineers allege high handedness, seek action
India Today
CPWD engineers have written to the Housing and Urban Affairs ministers about the alleged misbehaviour by IAS and CEO of Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board Niteshwar Kumar.
The CPWD has accused Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha's right hand, IAS Niteshwar Kumar, of misbehaving with engineers. In a letter sent to the Housing and Urban Affairs minister, the CPWD engineers have requested a verbal order to the police to "arrest/detain" the IAS officer and CEO of Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB).
This comes amid the latest transfer of Sanjeev Khirwar, the bureaucrat who allegedly cleared a Delhi stadium to walk his dog, to Ladakh due to outrage over his actions. His wife, Rinku Dugga, also a bureaucrat, was transferred to Arunachal Pradesh.
In the letter, the CPWD Engineers Association has urged the Housing and Urban Affairs minister to issue a verbal order to police to "arrest/detain" two government engineers for delay in completion of a project. They said that the two engineers were detained by the police, but were released after 10 hours.
Niteshwar has been accused of abusing local engineers and forcing their "illegal detention". While concluding the letter, the CPWD engineers requested the minister to intervene in the matter and take the necessary actions.
