Jammu & Kashmir Govt Grants Quasi-Permanent Status to 39 Secretariat Staff

On Thursday, the Jammu & Kashmir government declared that 39 secretariat employees would be granted quasi‑permanent status. The decision, announced by the state administration, is intended to provide these staff members with greater job security and to reduce turnover within key administrative units. Quasi‑permanent employment means the employees will enjoy many of the benefits of permanent posts, including eligibility for certain pension schemes and a more stable career trajectory. The move is part of a broader effort by the government to improve the efficiency and continuity of public service delivery in the state.
