INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The governor took over reins in Jammu and Kashmir after collapse of BJP-PDP government
complaints of alleged corruption and other wrongdoings against the previous PDP-BJP coalition government headed by Mehbooba Mufti.The
Twitter handle was set up on June 19, the day Ms Mufti submitted her resignation as chief minister of the state after the BJP pulled out of
the government.The governor, has been receiving complaints on Twitter about issues which were considered dead and buried.The complaints
received via the Twitter handle @jandkgovernor range from Ms Mufti removing the director of super-speciality SKIMS hospital and nominating
in-service professors as members of the governing council to former speaker and BJP leader Kavinder Gupta's doctor allegedly getting
appointed through the backdoor.PDP youth president Wahid-ur-Rehman Para, who was working as Secretary, JK State Sports Council, is also
accused of "adjusting" 250 people in various government departments and public sector undertakings."Ex-CM Sahiba (Mehbooba)ruined SKIMS
violated all norms by nominating in-service professors (friends of Dr Manzoor rather) as GB (governing body) members, then victimised all
who raised voice - prof ahangar suspended as Director, my resignation was forced, promotion of 4 others stopped," Altaf G Haji, an Oncology
surgeon tweeted to Governor Vohra.Another Twitter user brought to the Governor's notice, allegations made by a sitting PDP MLA, who had
recently revolted against Ms Mufti, about the wrongdoings committed by Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra."A quota of 250 seats were given to
Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra and he adjusted his nears and dears in JK Bank, JKP, Youth Service and Sports and other departments, Ansari alleged
We request Governor for an immediate inquiry commision," Syed Ishfaq wrote.Pawan Sharma brought to Mr Vohra's notice the appointment of
Charu Gupta, daughter of Kavinder Gupta as Dental Surgeon, under the National health Mission."No notification, special(ly) crafted posted

while referring to the appointment.Mr Vohra's office, through the official Twitter handle, informed all these complainants that a report has
been sought from the departments concerned.A Twitter user from Jammu asked the Governor to start registering Rohingya refugees in the state
with the view of national security."Sir, please register Rohingya's in Jammu region as they do it in west for the security of their nation

It's high time now," wrote Pratiba Koul.Another user brought to Mr Vohra's notice the images of Amarnath pilgrims making a line to answer
the call of nature on the banks of Dal Lake while heading towards the Baltal base camp.The photographs went viral on social media in

Twitter user sought Governor's help in getting the horticulture department and other agencies concerned to address the "Alternaria Leaf
blotch", a fungal disease, affecting the orchards in Anantnag district.Mr Vohra's attention was also drawn towards an alleged incident of
mass felling of Walnut trees, an offence if done without permission from the authorities concerned, in Budgam district and the "plight of
the Bemina area" in terms of development, despite being less than 10 kilometres from the Civil Secretariat -- the seat of state
government.In these cases also, the Governor's office informed the complainants that a written report has been sought from the departments
