:
Following allegations of misuse of various categories of passes issued for the Dasara festival at the Kanaka Durga temple here, Executive Officer (EO) D. Bhramaramba conducted checks and seized about 20 passes on Thursday.
Some persons, including women, who were carrying duty and media passes, could not give satisfactory replies when asked. In the morning, a woman who was carrying a media pass could answer properly when asked which organisation she was representing. In fact, she was also carrying another on duty pass. Unable to recognise that she was talking to the EO, she merely said, “The pass has a seal by the I&PR.” Ms. Bhramaramba seized both passes from her possession.
