J&K LG Sacks Two Govt Employees for Terror Links; Nearly 90 Terminated Since 2019
Officials said the dismissals are part of a broader crackdown that has removed more than 80 employees for alleged terror links since 2019.
- Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha dismissed two government employees, invoking Article 311 of the Constitution due to alleged links to Pakistan-backed terror groups.
- This action continues an ongoing drive to "root out terrorists embedded in the government machinery," with over 90 government employees already sacked for alleged anti-national activities since the administration intensified scrutiny.
- Farhat Ali Khanday, a Class-IV employee in the Education Department, allegedly used his position to "revive terrorism" and build a network for Hizb-ul-Mujahideen in Ramban and surrounding areas.
- Mohammad Shafi Dar of the Rural Development Department faced dismissal after investigators identified him as a "terror associate" of Lashkar-e-Toiba providing logistical support; an AK-56 rifle was recovered from him in April 2025.
- Since the 2019 bifurcation of the state, the administration has utilized Article 311 to remove civil servants without formal inquiry, maintaining a zero-tolerance policy against covertly infiltrated terrorist elements.
