Gund block without full-time BDO for 2 months

The rural development department’s Block Development Office in Gund continues to operate without a full-time Block Development Officer (BDO), causing inconvenience to residents who say development-related work has slowed over the past two months.

Sources said the previous BDO was transferred recently, but no permanent replacement has been posted since.

The charge is currently held additionally by the BDO Kangan, who is managing two blocks simultaneously. Locals have demanded immediate posting of a full-time officer to ensure swift public service delivery and redressal of routine administrative matters.
