The Jammu & Kashmir administration has issued a directive transferring and posting 116 engineers across various departments.
The Jammu & Kashmir government announced a comprehensive transfer and posting order affecting 116 engineers on 5 October 2024. The directive, issued by the Chief Secretary’s office, covers engineers from the Public Works Department, the Irrigation Department, and the Power Sector, among others.
The transfers are intended to streamline departmental operations and address staffing gaps identified during the recent audit of civil service positions. Officials said the changes will take effect from 1 November, with new assignments communicated to the affected personnel by the end of the month.
The order follows a broader initiative to improve efficiency in state‑run engineering services, a move that has been welcomed by professional bodies representing engineers in the region.
