Two Policeman Among 5 Employees Terminated In Jammu Kashmir Over Alleged Militant Links.

Two police constables were among the five employees terminated by the Jammu Kashmir administration over alleged links with militancy.

As per sources the terminated employees have been identified as Police constable Tawseef Ahmed Mir from Pulwama, Computer operator Ghulam Hassan Parray from Srinagar, Arshid Ahmad Das, a teacher from Awantipora in south Kashmir’s Pulwama, Police constable Shahid Hussain Rather from Baramulla and Nursing Orderly in the Health Department Sharafat Ahmad Khan from Kupwara.

The employees are believed to have been terminated under the recently invoked Article 311 of the Constitution of India “in the interest of the security of the State”.

Pertinently, the J&K government in April constituted a Special Task Force (STF) to recommend the names of such employees involved in activities posing a threat to the security.
