J-K Administration Sacks Six Employees Over Alleged Narco-Terror Links

The Jammu and Kashmir administration has terminated six government employees, including five policemen, for alleged involvement in a narco-terror network connected to Pakistan's ISI and terror groups. The dismissal was executed under Article 311(2)(c) of the Constitution, citing security concerns.

In a significant move, the Jammu and Kashmir administration on Saturday terminated six government employees, among them five policemen, over alleged narco-terror links. Official sources revealed that these employees were part of a network operated by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and terror groups.

Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha utilized Article 311(2)(c) of the Constitution to carry out the dismissal. This article permits the president or the governor to terminate an employee if their continued service is deemed harmful to state security.

Investigations indicated that these individuals were involved in financing terrorism through the illicit sale of narcotics. Aside from the policemen, a teacher was also among those sacked for their alleged roles in this wide-reaching terror-financing network.
