Assistant commissioner Labour and assistant commissioner PF Dehradun have been asked to inquire into the substance of the charter of demands served by Uttarakhand Kranti Dal (UKD) which ended its sit-in and fast earlier this month following assurance from the District Magistrate Sushil Kumar.
DM had assured the leaders of UKD who were staging the stir under the banner of Kshetriya Kranti Dal that the charges of financial irregularities involving the funds of G B Pant Engineering College, Ghurdori would be probed into by an administration-formed committee.
Among other demands that contained in the charter of demands of the agitating outfit was outsourcing of employees and fake appointment of a senior officer. DM had further assured them that the report of the inquiry would be submitted in a month.
DM said while talking to The Pioneer on Monday that the officer duo would probe the allegations thoroughly and submit the report within the stipulated time.
It is pertinent to mention that the Uttarakhand Kranti Dal activists under the banner of Kshetriya Kranti Dal had started sit- in at the Collectorate in Pauri after staging the same in the premises of the engineering college. The agitators had demanded a SIT inquiry into alleged the financial irregularities involving purchase of some instruments, illegal appointment to an important post and some others.
Things had taken a more serious turn after UKD district president Subodh Pokhriyal had started hunger strike from November 27 at the collectorate and in course of the hunger strike, the principal of the college at Ghurdori had stripped Sandeep Kumar of the additional charge of registrar, one of the demands the agitators were most vociferous about.
