Kashmiri Pandit employees approach CAT challenging order prohibiting transfer from Valley
Jammu, Dec 27 (PTI) Protesting Kashmiri Pandit employees have approached the Central Administrative Tribunal against a Jammu and Kashmir administration order stating those granted employment under the prime minister’s special package cannot be transferred.
The move to approach the CAT’s Srinagar bench comes days after Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha announced that the striking employees would not be given salaries, a statement criticised by all major political parties.
Kashmiri Pandit employees have been on a strike for over seven months to demand their “relocation” from the Valley in view of targeted killings by terrorists.
