Official’s transfer raises eyebrows

Faridabad: The transfer of the Faridabad Municipal Corporation (MC) chief engineer within days of joining the duty has raised a few eyebrows. Birender Kardam, who had joined here as the chief engineer on November 18, was relieved from the post as per an order issued by the office of Additional Chief Secretary, Urban Local Bodies Department, on Sunday. While this has taken the official circles of the MC by surprise, the authorities have ordered to give the charge again to Thakur Lal Sharma, who was transferred from this post on November 16. Sharma who was posted as the chief engineer of the Sonepat MC has now been given the additional charge of Faridabad. “This action has not only put a question mark over the purpose of the transfer in such a manner, but will certainly affect the working of the Faridabad MC,” says Yogesh Dhingra, a former municipal corporator.
