BARAMULLA: The post of Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Uri is lying vacant for the past two weeks after the transfer of the erstwhile SDM causing inconvenience to people of the area.
Locals said various public work projects have been hit in the sub-division Uri due to the absence of SDM.
“It is very unfortunate that almost 15 days have passed and the government is yet to appoint a new officer. We are suffering immensely,” said Abrar Ahmad, a local.
Bashir Ahmad Bhat, a local Right To Information activist said the government has been making big but hollow claims on good governance after the reading down of Article 370.
