According to official sources KNT, the termination orders were issued after Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha approved their dismissal under Article 311(2)(c) of the Constitution of India — a provision that allows the government to remove employees without a departmental inquiry if their continuation in service poses a risk to state security.
The dismissed employees have been identified as Ghulam Hussain and Majid Iqbal Dar, both serving as teachers in the Education Department. Authorities allege that the duo maintained links with militant organizations and were engaged in activities that promoted anti-national sentiments.
Action under Article 311(2)(c)
Officials said the decision was taken after a detailed verification and intelligence assessment conducted by multiple security agencies. Inputs from intelligence networks reportedly confirmed that the two teachers were involved in activities that could “compromise national integrity.”
“The cases were thoroughly examined before final approval was granted,” a senior official said. “The administration maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward anyone found involved in activities that threaten national security or propagate separatism.”

Ongoing Crackdown on Anti-National Elements
This move is part of the J&K government’s ongoing crackdown against employees suspected of supporting or abetting militancy or separatist ideology. Since 2019, several government officials from various departments — including education, police, and revenue — have been dismissed under the same constitutional provision.
The Home Department of Jammu and Kashmir has reiterated that the administration will continue identifying such individuals to ensure that public offices remain free from elements working against the interest of the Union Territory and the nation.

Background: Strengthening Institutional Integrity
The dismissals come as part of broader administrative measures aimed at strengthening institutional integrity and ensuring that public servants uphold constitutional values. The government has emphasized that employees in critical departments, especially education and law enforcement, are expected to maintain the highest standards of conduct and loyalty to the Indian Constitution.
Since the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019, Jammu and Kashmir has seen a series of disciplinary actions against government personnel accused of misusing their official positions or promoting anti-national propaganda.
Officials believe these measures have helped curb internal sympathizers of militancy and reinforce accountability within government institutions.
Public Reaction and Administrative Stand
The decision has drawn mixed reactions, with many citizens and educators calling for transparency in the verification process, while others have expressed support for the government’s firm stance on national security.
Officials clarified that every such termination follows a multi-agency scrutiny, ensuring that no innocent employee faces punitive action without credible evidence.
“The government’s approach is preventive, not punitive,” a senior official added. “Our aim is to protect the system from infiltration by individuals whose actions or affiliations threaten peace and security.”
Conclusion
The termination of the two teachers underscores the J&K administration’s resolve to maintain discipline and loyalty among public servants. As the region continues its journey toward stability and growth, the government has reiterated that any employee found engaging in anti-national or subversive acts will face strict disciplinary action.
