The Jammu and Kashmir administration, led by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, has fired 3 government employees for their suspected involvement in terrorist activities. The employees include police constable Firdous Ahmad Bhat, teacher Mohammad Ashraf Bhat, and forest department worker Nisar Ahmad Khan, all of whom are currently in jail.
Officials said the decision to dismiss them was made under Article 311(2)(c) of the Constitution, which allows the government to fire employees without an inquiry if it is necessary for national security. This action is part of the administration’s ongoing efforts to remove individuals from the government who may have links to terrorist groups.
The cases against these employees are based on reliable intelligence and ongoing investigations. The administration has reiterated its strong stance against terrorism and any support for it.
In recent years, several government employees have been dismissed for similar reasons, showing the administration’s commitment to keeping the region safe and secure.
