Officers directly intimating staff about new postings

The Union Territory (UT) administration in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) has launched a massive exercise to reach out to the disgruntled Kashmiri Pandit migrant employees after their transfer list was leaked on various social media platforms. To calm their nerves, the administration is now directly getting in touch with the employees and intimating them about their new place of posting.

Meanwhile, the UT administration is working overtime to relocate Kashmiri migrant employees to safer zones where they will be provided adequate security cover.

Several migrant employees posted in other district headquarters confirmed they have been informed about their new place of posting on telephone by the officers concerned.

The exercise was initiated after serious security concerns were raised over the leaked transfer list of 177 teachers from Srinagar district.

The employees who are still camping in the Kashmir Valley find themselves at the receiving end. The authorities have directed them to report to their new places of posting after receiving the relieving orders. Their colleagues, living in rented accommodations, have returned to Jammu not to return soon.
