KISHTWAR: District Administration Kishtwar has expressed deep sorrow on the sudden demise of Sudhir Sharma, AEE (Technical Officer), JPDCL, who breathed his last yesterday in New Delhi after suffering a brain haemorrhage a few days ago. Deputy Commissioner Pankaj Kumar Sharma, senior officers and staff members assembled in the Conference Hall of the Mini Secretariat, New DC Office and observed two minutes silence to pay homage to the departed soul.

The Deputy Commissioner conveyed heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family and described the demise of Sudhir Sharma as an irreparable loss, both professionally and personally. He said, “Sudhir Sharma stood out as one of the most humble, dedicated, sincere, and honest officers of the Kishtwar Administration. Always ready to lend a helping hand, quick in response, and known for his ever-warm smile, he set an inspiring example for all of us. His untimely departure has created a void that will be difficult to fill.”

DC Kishtwar further added that the entire district has lost a sincere and dependable officer who always upheld the highest values of service and commitment to duty. “The District Administration stands in solidarity with the bereaved family during this hour of grief and prays for them to find strength and peace,” the DC said.
