The Jammu and Kashmir Government issued fresh guidelines for deputation of its employees to the Union Territory of Ladakh and has made it clear that no employee shall be repatriated unless a suitable replacement is provided by the concerned department.
Notifying the guidelines, which were approved by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha-led Administrative Council in its meeting held on November 23, the Government has ruled that once the transfer/deputation order is issued with the approval of competent authority, the only ground for modification of such order shall be serious illness of the employee or his/her spouse/ children fully dependent upon him/ dependent parents, to be certified by Standing Medical Board of Government Medical College in the Union Territory of J&K.
General principles, calendar for transfers, tenure of deputation, selection of employees, age and health factor etc for the deputation of employees have been elaborated in the guidelines, which were notified today by the General Administration Department, through which all proposals relating to deputation and repatriation shall be routed.
Pertinent to mention that after the re-organisation of erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir State into two Union Territories, the Government of J&K UT was entrusted with the responsibility of allocating officers of the UT of Ladakh, besides further deputing officers to meet any deficiency in the service.
