Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has terminated the services of two government employees in Jammu and Kashmir due to their connections with terrorist organizations Hizbul Mujahideen and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). This decision, made under Article 311(2)(c) of the Constitution of India, is part of Sinha's commitment to a zero-tolerance policy against terrorism. Farhat Ali Khanday, an employee in the Education Department from Ramban, was found to be working for Hizbul Mujahideen, using his position to revive terrorist activities. He had previously been arrested in 2011 but continued his operations after being released on bail. The second employee, Mohammad Shafi Dar from Bandipora, was linked to LeT and was involved in providing logistical support to terrorists. He was apprehended in April 2025 with weapons and ammunition. Sinha's administration has dismissed over 90 employees for similar reasons, emphasizing a strong stance against terrorism in the region.
