SAMBA: An influential AE in PHE Division Samba who was promoted and transferred to some other place, has not been relieved yet by X.En PHE Samba. Highly placed sources in Samba told “POONCH TODAY” that the said AE has been running a big commotion and scripted many financial wrong plays during his stay in PHE Samba as AE and AEE. He has become so powerful in PHE Division Samba that successive X.En hesitated to relieve him after his transfer. Funds under various central sponsored schemes were brazenly misused by him by showing works on paper but ground reality speaks something else. Majority of staff members posted in PHE Division Samba obey his orders as he seems to be the ultimate authority in the department, least bothering about the orders of X.En. The said AE played a major role in allotting various works to his close Contactors after settling deals with them behind the curtains. Works of loading and unloading, material procured from various suppliers, repairing of electro mechanical machinery of pumping stations, repairing of motors and pumps, were give to his close Contractors. Even funds under various civil works under different schemes were misused by the said AE with the help of few more staff members in X.En Office, because what lies on paper is different from what lies on the ground. As per highly placed sources in the department, the said AE has become so powerful that no body in the department has guts to relieve him even after his transfer order issued long ago. He is reportedly considered as a strong officer in Samba administration. Behind the curtains, he has strong links in government and this is the reason that he enjoys backing of powerful chairs and ultimately, he has been scripting various financial frauds in PHE Samba for which a detailed inquiry is need of the hour.
