In a major embarrassment for the Jammu and Kashmir government, the banner aimed at highlighting the women achievers of the country was hoisted at a function held to promote education for girls in south Kashmir's Kokernag area.
It also featured tennis star Sania Mirza, legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar and Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi among others.
"The CDPO, Shamima, has been placed under suspension and an inquiry has been ordered into the incident," Deputy Commissioner Anantnag Mohammad Yunus Malik told PTI.
She has several cases registered against her, including some for hoisting Pakistani flag on August 14 and March 23-- the independence day and national day of Pakistan respectively.
