Punjab: Oppn parties claim PCS officer harassed by Moga DC, target ruling AAP

CHANDIGARH: (Mar 23) Shiromani Akali Dal and Congress on Sunday claimed that a PCS officer faced mental harassment at the hands of the Moga deputy commissioner to elect AAP candidates to positions of chairperson and vice chairperson of the Baghapurana Panchayat Samiti.

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leaders Sukhbir Singh Badal and Bikram Singh Majithia, and Congress leaders Partap Singh Bajwa and Pargat Singh shared a purported letter of the PCS officer and Baghapurana Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Babandeep Singh Walia complaining against Moga DC and IAS officer Sagar Setia.

Setia, however, rejected the allegations against him and said that Walia was facing an inquiry over complaints received against him from panchayat samiti members.
