Official sources said the state Motar Grage Kashmir, without any approval from the Government, had ordered construction of two huts in front of the office building in Srinagar.
It was informed that both huts were proved huge burden on the financial health of the department.
Sources said that despite passing of almost three years, the transport department has not ordered a probe into the matter. “Though the higher authorities in the transport department had assured the probe into the matter, but till date no formal orders were issued to initiate the probe,” sources told KNS.
Sources said that despite having a full-fledged two storey building for office use, the two huts were constructed without the government’s approval.

They claimed that these newly constructed huts have not been mentioned anywhere on the papers. “It seems that misusing his official position the officer got the huts constructed for his own comfort. Their construction was nothing but a total wastage of the money,” said the sources.

It is the duty of the Government to take notice of such matters and ensure that no one gets more than his actual entitlement,” sources suggests. (KNS)
