POONCH: A few days back, the government transferred many IFS officers and in that list, former DFO Poonch Mohan Choudhary(IFS) was attached and this irked Poonchites who termed the decision as shocking.
Advocate Sanjay Raina, Chairman People Forum termed the event as unfortunate and said that the government treated its most efficient officer badly just to satisfy the arrogance of few big minds who wanted him to toe their lines(Out of the law) in implementing the Forest Rights Act, which he didn’t. Advocate Raina said, “It’s very shameful that a most capable officer who has won million hearts in Poonch district was treated badly by the government. A thorough investigation must be carried out by the government against those officers who are playing their role in a negative way in FRA.” A large number of people also said that the real objective of the FRA is being ignored and this would be another blunder in making. Highly placed sources in top echelons of the government told “POONCH TODAY” that all-out efforts are going on by few top officers to give benefit to the claimant, who is not a subject of the FRA as never in history; claimants have ever used forest lands for permanent habitations or for self-cultivation. Various social media users have praised a senior IAS officer for the detachment of Mohan Choudhary and this shows that the top brains of the J&K UT government played wrong role and were divided on the issue of FRA. Who was right and who was wrong? The government needs to detect this to save the forest from legalized illegal encroachment and moreover, those officers who are an asset of government must be rewarded and protected by all means against hatched conspiracies of a few top officers who are behaving like big arrogant bosses thereby giving huge preference to their hollow ego and not to the merit of act, feel locals.
