The Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Lieutenant Governor on August 3 invoked Article 311 and terminated six alleged “anti-national” government employees, including five policemen, on the basis of the reports filed by the security agencies.
“Five constables from the Police Department and one teacher from the Education Department are sacked in terms of Article 311 of the Constitution of India for their deep involvement in anti-national activities,” a government spokesman said.
The spokesman said the activities of these employees “had come to the adverse notice of law enforcement and intelligence agencies, as they found them thickly involved in activities prejudicial to the interests of the State, evidencing their involvement in terror related activities”.
The spokesman identified the sacked employees as Saif Din, Selection Grade Constable from Doda’s Shigani Bhallesa area; Farooq Ahmad Sheikh, Head Constable from Kupwara’s Ibkoote Tangdar area; Khalid Hussian Shah, Selection Grade Constable from Kupwara; Rahmat Shah, Constable, from Kupwara’s Karnah; Irshad Ahmad Chalkoo, Selection Grade Constable from Baramulla’s Silikote Uri, and Nazam Din, a teacher in the Education Department from Poonch’s Kirni Haveli.
