Srinagar, Jan 01: Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has stated that the era of recommendations in Jammu and Kashmir is over and now all appointments are made on merit basis.
The 2024 annual report of the MHA accessed by the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) states: “Instead of terrorism, bomb blasts, firing, stone pelting, and strikes, now education, technical institutions, industries, and infrastructure are being seen in Jammu & Kashmir.”
The MHA report stated that the recruitment processes in J&K have become transparent and clean. “The Union Home Minister distributed more than 1000 appointment letters for J&K Combined Examination-2024 and compassionate appointments through video conferencing from New Delhi,” the report states.
Referring to the launch of e-buses the report states that to make commuting easy Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched 100 air-conditioned eco-friendly buses in Jammu region.
The report states that in pursuit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision to build a developed and prosperous Ladakh, MHA decided to create 5 new districts in the Union Territory.
The new districts, namely Zanskar, Drass, Sham, Nubra, and Changthang, will take the benefits meant for the people to their doorsteps by bolstering governance in every nook and cranny.
“There will now be a total of seven districts in Ladakh, including Leh and Kargil. Being extremely difficult and inaccessible, at present district administration is facing many difficulties in reaching the grassroots level,” the report states, adding, “After the formation of these districts more and more people have been able to take advantage of all the public welfare schemes of the Central Government and Ladakh Administration.”—(KNO)
