The Jammu and Kashmir Forest Department has placed a hold on recently issued transfer orders, according to Kashmir Life.
The Forest Department of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir announced that it has temporarily halted a set of transfer orders that were issued to its staff earlier this month. The decision, reported by the local news portal Kashmir Life, was communicated through an internal circular that instructed all concerned officers to remain in their current postings until further notice.
No official reason has been provided for the suspension, and department officials declined to comment on the matter when approached for clarification. Sources within the department indicated that the move may be linked to an ongoing review of the transfer policy, but this has not been confirmed.
The hold on transfers could affect dozens of forest officers across the region, potentially delaying planned relocations and affecting administrative workflows. Stakeholders are awaiting a formal statement that would outline the next steps and any timeline for resuming the transfer process.
