STC NEWS DESK
JAMMU, MARCH 31 (STC):
Jammu and Kashmir government is fully committed to filling 25,000 vacant posts in 2026, through a transparent and time-bound recruitment process.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah
said while replying to a query from MLA Pulwama Waheed-ur-Rehman Para in the Legislative Assembly today.
The Chief Minister said the issue has been discussed multiple times during the ongoing session, including during debates on the Lieutenant Governor’s address, the state budget, and various grant demands.
“Time-bound does not mean the process should be rushed in a manner that leads to court challenges and subsequent halts,” CM Omar Abdullah said, underscoring the need for a balanced approach.
He warned against repeating past mistakes where selection lists were framed hastily, only to be challenged in courts.
