Overview
- Official circulars at GMC Srinagar, SMHS Hospital and GMC Anantnag require all faculty, staff and students to label and verify lockers by November 14, 2025.
- Post-deadline inspections by Medical Superintendents, RMOs and estates officers will clear unclaimed or surplus lockers from hospital and college corridors.
- Employees who fail to hand over or verify lockers risk denial of LPC, NOC and service books on transfer, according to the orders.
- The measures follow the November 7 recovery of an AK-47 rifle and ammunition from a locker linked to former GMC Anantnag doctor Adeel Ahmad Rather.
- Police have registered an FIR under Sections 7 and 25 of the Arms Act and Sections 13, 28, 38 and 39 of the UAPA, with the case connected to a wider module that has led to arrests of doctors allegedly linked to JeM and AGH.
