J&K: CM Mufti Mohammad Sayeed revokes re-employment of government employees

Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on Tuesday ordered with immediate effect the termination of all the employees who were granted re-employment by various government departments.

The decision was taken "to rid the state from the scourge of nepotism and rejuvenate administration", a government spokesman said.

The chief minister also ordered that engagements, arrangements made by the different departments, PSUs, boards and autonomous bodies under any scheme against any sanctioned posts without any selection procedure, even on contractual basis, shall also cease to exist with immediate effect.

The chief minister issued these directions to restore the credibility of the administration so that it works in a fair and transparent manner, the spokesman added.
