A Revenue Officer of Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir has been suspended for willful concealment of facts and furnishing of factually incorrect information to the Assembly about the transfer of land for setting up a hospital and stadium.
Announcing this, Basharat Bukhari, Minister for Revenue, Relief and Rehabilitation, said in the Assembly that other Revenue officials, if responsible for the lapse, will face stringent action.
