2 Government Employees Dismissed in Kupwara Over Alleged Militant Links – Alfaaz – The Words

Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Friday dismissed two government employees from service over their alleged involvement in militancy-related activities.

The terminated employees have been identified as Khurshid Ahmed Rather, a teacher posted in Karnah, Kupwara, and Siyad Ahmad Khan, an Assistant Stockman in the Sheep Husbandry Department, Keran, Kupwara.

According to official sources, both were found to be working for the proscribed outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba. Law enforcement and intelligence agencies had reportedly gathered incriminating evidence establishing their links with the outfit before action was taken under the provisions of law. [KNT]
