Lone sulaiman

Bandipora, : Mohd Hamza Lone, a JKPC candidate from Gurez, has accused the Naib Tehsildar Gurez of assault during a recent visit to his office.

Speaking to the media, Lone explained that he had gone to the Naib Tehsildar’s office to complete some official paperwork requiring his signature. Upon requesting assistance with the procedure, Lone alleged that the officer refused to cooperate.

“I asked him to explain the process, but instead of helping, he behaved rudely. He grabbed my collar and attempted to strike me with a chair,” Lone recounted. The JKPC candidate also pointed out that the people of Gurez have long been troubled by the actions of this Naib Tehsildar, citing similar complaints from his previous posting in Oudi. “He is extremely egoistic and unfit for a public service position.”

The public has expressed growing concerns over the behavior of the officer. “The role of a Naib Tehsildar is to serve the people and manage public dealings. Such positions require individuals with a sense of duty, not those who abuse their power,” said a local resident.

This incident has raised questions about the appointment of officials with a reputation for misconduct, with calls for accountability becoming louder.

When we spoke to the Naib Tehsildar Gurez regarding the matter, he refused all allegations, stating that no such incident had occurred. All the allegations are baseless.
