Kashmir minister accused of misbehaving with govt engineer
Srinagar, Aug 7 (IBNS) Jammu and Kashmir's cabinet minister and senior ruling National Conference (NC) leader Chowdhary Muhammad Ramzan has reportedly scolded and abused the chief engineer of PHE Kashmir division at a review meeting here on Thursday.
The alleged misbehavior from NC senior minister, who heads consumer Affairs and Public Distribution department, occurred during a review meeting in Jammu & Kashmir's summer capital Srinagar.
