The Jammu and Kashmir administration has taken a stringent step by terminating the services of four government employees due to their alleged involvement in activities linked to terrorism. The decision, executed under the provisions of Article 311(2)(c) of the Indian Constitution, aimed to address concerns related to national security.
The terminated employees encompassed diverse roles, including a doctor, a police constable, a teacher, and a lab bearer in the higher education department. However, specific details regarding the nature of their alleged terrorist involvements were not disclosed by the government.
In a series of orders issued by the general administration department, the lieutenant governor, after evaluating the facts and circumstances surrounding each case, determined that the activities attributed to these individuals warranted their dismissal from service.
The identified individuals who faced termination are Ab. Salam Rather from Kulgam, serving as a lab bearer in the higher education department; Abdul Majeed Bhat from Kupwara, a constable in J&K police; Dr. Nisar-Ul-Hassan, an assistant professor in medicine at SMHS Hospital in Srinagar; and Farooq Ahmad Mir from Kupwara, employed as a teacher in the education department.
This move comes as part of the administration’s recent efforts to tackle national security concerns by removing individuals purportedly engaged in activities detrimental to the country’s safety. Over the last three years, the Union Territory administration has utilized Article 311(2)(c) to dismiss over 50 employees allegedly linked to aiding Pakistani terror outfits, promoting terrorist ideologies, facilitating terror finances, and supporting separatist agendas while being employed within the government.
