J&K Government Terminates Employee Over 2017 Drug Case Involvement

The Jammu and Kashmir government announced the termination of a civil servant after an internal probe linked him to a drug case from 2017. The employee, whose name was not disclosed, had been under investigation by the state's anti‑narcotics department, which found sufficient evidence of his participation in the illegal drug network. The dismissal follows the government's recent drive to strengthen anti‑drug measures and enforce strict accountability among public officials. Officials said the action underscores the administration's zero‑tolerance policy towards corruption and illicit activities within its ranks.
