The officials’ names and places of posting have been made public.
Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday transferred 177 Kashmiri Pandit government school teachers to “safer places” within the Valley following a spate of targeted killings, the Hindustan Times reported. However, the move was criticised by Kashmiri Pandits and political parties after the lists of transferred employees was uploaded on government websites and later began circulating on social media, according to The Indian Express. Kashmiri Pandit employees said that since the lists show their new place of posting, it has put their lives at risk.
“This is a matter of concern for us in the kind of situation we are living in,” Vikas Hangloo, a Kashmiri Pandit employee said, according to The Indian Express. “Since yesterday, we have been seeing orders, with name and place of posting, circulating on WhatsApp.
