The government has ordered a sweeping reshuffle, moving 136 officers to new postings across Jammu and Kashmir, according to Kashmir Life.
New orders issued by the administration have resulted in the transfer of 136 civil servants to various posts throughout Jammu and Kashmir. The reshuffle, described as a major move, aims to re‑align the region's bureaucratic structure. Details of the specific departments or designations involved have not been disclosed publicly. The decision was reported by Kashmir Life, which highlighted the scale of the personnel changes. The government has not commented further on the objectives or timeline for the reassignments.
The transfers affect officers from multiple cadres, reflecting a broad-based approach to re‑distribution of administrative responsibilities.
