The Jammu and Kashmir administration, led by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, has terminated two government employees for their alleged involvement in terrorism. This decision brings the total number of employees dismissed for anti-national activities to nearly 90 since the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019. The terminations were carried out under Article 311(2)(c) of the Indian Constitution, which permits dismissal without formal inquiry if it is deemed necessary for national security. One of the terminated employees, Farhat Ali Khanday, worked in the education department in Ramban and was accused of using his position to build a terrorist network for the Hizbul Mujahideen. The other, Mohammad Shafi Dar, a staffer in the rural development department in Bandipora, was linked to the Lashkar-e-Taiba and was found to have provided operational support to terrorists. The administration's actions have faced backlash from the ruling National Conference and opposition parties, who argue that these dismissals represent a vendetta against local residents.
