Officers of the erstwhile J&K cadre will now be posted by central govt and can be transferred to Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram and any union territory.
Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir cadre of IPS, IAS and Indian Forest Service (IFoS) was merged with the AGMUT cadre on Thursday and its officers will now be posted by the central government.
According to a notification signed by President Ram Nath Kovind and issued by the Ministry of Law and Justice, the members of IAS, IPS and Indian Forest Service for the existing cadre of Jammu and Kashmir will now become part of AGMUT (Arunachal, Goa, Mizoram and Union Territories) cadre.
Now, the officers of the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir cadre can be posted to Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram and any union territory.
Necessary modifications may be made in the corresponding cadre allocation rules by the central government.
The notification said the officers borne or allocated to AGMUT cadre shall function in accordance with the rules framed by the central government.
The move comes over a year after the Centre abrogated Jammu and Kashmir’s special status under Article 370 of the Constitution and bifurcated the state into union territories in August 2019. (PTI)
