Srinagar, Apr 10: Two government employees have been terminated by the Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor for alleged militant activities.
News agency KDC reported that the two employees, identified as Senior Assistant Ishtiyak Ahmad Malik and Assistant Wireless Operator Bashrat Ahmad Mir, have been terminated from service by the LG over their alleged involvement in anti-national and militant activities.
Basharat, they said, was appointed as an operator in 2010 and remained posted in various units of J&K Police till 2017.
In February this year, LG Sinha had ordered the sacking of three J&K govt employees — a police constable, a teacher and an orderly in the forest department — for their alleged militant links. These three government employees — police constable Firdous Ahmad Bhat, teacher Mohammad Ashraf Bhat and orderly in the forest department Nisar Ahmad Khan — were dismissed from services under Article 311 2(c) of the Constitution of India.
Their termination orders were signed by the LG a day after he chaired a security review in Jammu and directed the police and security agencies to step up anti-militancy operations by focusing on not just neutralising terrorists but also dismantling the militant eco-system that includes terror sympathisers, moles and violence mongers embedded within the J&K administration.
Pertinently the services of over half-dozen employees have been terminated since popular government came into being in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, while over 70 government employees have been fired by the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha-led administration in the Union Territory for their militant links in the past few years.
