BARAMULLA: The resentment is brewing up in the inhabitants of Watergam Rafiabad area of Baramulla district against the authorities for failing to make the Watergam tehsil office functional as it is left without Tehsildar since last one month.

According to the locals the concerned Tehsildar was transferred and the authorities have failed to send his replacement. In absence of the Tehsildar people coming from different areas of Rafiabad return in despair.

They said that several villages of Rafiabad that fall under the catchment area of tehsil Watergam are facing severe inconvenience in absence of the executive magistrate first class who besides being drawing and disbursing officer is required to attest essential documents like state subject, land notations and other revenue deeds.

“We have been suffering for long in absence of executive magistrate here. For some simple application we have to travel from far off places to tehsil office every day and in absence of Tehsildar concerned we return to our homes with deep disappointment.” told locals of different villages while talking to Kashmir News Bureau.

Meanwhile locals appealed Divisional Commissioner Kashmir to kindly redress the issue at an earliest so that common masses will not suffer further hardships.(KNB)
