IAS Officer Abusing JKAS Officer Would Have Been Attached Had J&K Been A State: Omar Abdullah

Srinagar, Oct 16: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday said that had Jammu and Kashmir been a state, the IAS officer seen abusing a young JKAS officer would have been attached to the General Administration Department pending an inquiry into his conduct.

Taking to X, Omar Abdullah wrote, as per GNS, “Had J&K been a state the IAS officer seen abusing a young JKAS officer would have been attached to the General Administration Department pending an inquiry into his conduct. As a UT we expect the authorities with control over the IAS officers to set the right example & ensure abusive, threatening behaviour is not brushed under the carpet.”

Pertinently, JKAS Association has called for one-day pen-down strike in support of the KAS officer.(GNS)
