Bathinda: The website http://bathinda.nic.in of the district administration is not being updated regularly so it is misleading the people in the case of names and contact numbers of senior officials of some departments.
Names and mobile numbers of many officials, who have either been transferred or have retired are still shown on the website.
Gurmeet Singh Butter was transferred in November 2010 as director of the regional centre of Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) here.
He is currently working as additional director of extension education at PAU, Ludhiana. However, he is still working in Bathinda, according to the website of the district administration.
The contact number of vice-chancellor of Maharaja Ranjit Singh State Technical University, Bathinda, Mohan Paul Singh Ishar, has not been added yet in the website, however, campus director JS Hundal does figure in the website.
