RAJOURI: District administration Rajouri ordered suspension of Block Development Officer Kalakote for underperformance in implementation of Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) in Kalakote and for dereliction of duties.
The development came after the said BDO did not turn up for meeting chaired by District Development Commissioner Rajouri Dr Shahid Iqbal Choudhary to review the progress made under Swach Bharat Mission (Gramin) and the data presented by District Panchayat Officer reflected a dismal performance in block Kalakote with only 19 per cent geo-tagged Individual Household Latrines.
