A dispute between 2 employees at Ramnagar municipality in Nainital district has led to an official inquiry after accountant Sanjay Mishra allegedly slapped tax inspector Lalla Miyan during an argument.
The confrontation reportedly took place 2 days before the report, when a disagreement between the employees escalated into an alleged physical altercation. The incident caused a commotion on the municipality premises.
Both employees have given different accounts of what happened. The allegation that Mishra slapped Miyan has not been established, and the inquiry will examine the circumstances surrounding the dispute.
Executive officer orders inquiry
Ramnagar municipality Executive Officer Alok Uniyal has ordered an investigation into the matter. To prevent the inquiry from being affected, Mishra has been sent to the municipality library in Lakhanpur.
Uniyal said further action would be based on the facts that emerge during the investigation. No final finding about responsibility has been reported.
Miyan said Mishra should have considered his age and that slapping him was unacceptable. His statement focuses on the alleged assault during the dispute.
Mishra has denied that the disagreement began without a workplace issue. He said Miyan was asking him to clear certain bills without the required signatures from the Executive Officer and the municipality. Mishra said he objected to this request.
According to Mishra, the disagreement intensified after allegedly abusive language was used against him. He also alleged that he was physically assaulted during the confrontation.
What the inquiry will examine
The investigation is expected to consider the competing claims made by both employees. It will need to establish how the argument began, whether the bills and signatures were involved, and what happened during the alleged physical confrontation.
The available report does not state that a police case, arrest or court proceeding has followed the incident. It also does not provide a final finding against either employee.
For the municipality, the immediate development is the internal inquiry and Mishra’s placement at the Lakhanpur library during that process. Any further administrative action will depend on the investigation’s findings.
Conclusion
The Ramnagar municipality dispute remains under investigation, with both employees offering different versions of the confrontation. Executive Officer Alok Uniyal will determine the next administrative steps after the inquiry establishes the relevant facts.
