JAMMU: The Jammu and Kashmir government on Sunday dismissed three employees under Article 311 of the Constitution of India for their involvement in anti-national activities.
“Article 311 of the Constitution of India provides for dismissal of a person employed in civil capacities under Union or a State,” an official said. Prior to these three dismissals, 44 government officials have been removed invoking provisions of Article 311 of the Constitution so far, he added.
“The activities of these employees had come to the adverse notice of law enforcement and intelligence agencies, as they found them involved in activities prejudicial to the interests of the State, such as involvement in terror-related activities and drug trafficking,” the official said.
“Manzoor Ahmad Itoo, Junior Engineer (Public Works Department) in PMGSY, Bandipore; Syed Saleem Andrabi, Orderly in Social Welfare Department, Tehsil Handwara, District Kupwara; and Mohammad Aurif Sheikh, a teacher in Government Middle School, Pagihalla, Mahore, Reasi, are the employees against whom action has been taken,” the official added.
“Manzoor Ahmad Itoo had played an important role in mobilizing people in support of terrorists and also motivating youth to join terrorist ranks, which posed a serious threat to the security of the Indian State,” the official said, adding: “Syed Saleem Andrabi was found involved in drug trafficking, while Mohammad Aurif Sheikh was found involved in planting IEDs on the instructions of terrorists operating from Pakistan, thus causing loss of human lives and damage to public properties.”
The government has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards anti-national elements taking advantage of their positions in the government, the official added.
