Overview
- Ghulam Hussain of Reasi and Majid Iqbal Dar of Rajouri, both in the School Education Department, were dismissed on October 30 on national‑security grounds.
- Orders issued under Article 311(2)(c) said an inquiry was not expedient in the interest of state security, citing investigations and intelligence inputs.
- Officials allege Hussain acted as an LeT overground worker facilitating recruitment, logistics and funding, while Dar was linked to narco‑terror financing, radicalisation of youth and an IED plot in Rajouri in January 2023.
- The latest action takes the tally of government employees removed in recent years to roughly 80‑plus under the J&K administration’s security drive.
- A day later, LG Manoj Sinha said the process would continue until the “terror ecosystem” is eliminated, as Chief Minister Omar Abdullah urged court‑led terminations and Mehbooba Mufti condemned the dismissals.
