A fresh order by the J&K administration on Monday said employees' attempts to approach the offices of the President, Prime Minister, Lieutenant Governor or Chief Secretary on service matters are being viewed seriously.
It said the government had observed that some officers or officials working in various government departments of J&K were bypassing proper channels and approaching the higher offices. “These acts, being in violation of the J&K Civil Services Conduct Rules, 1956, have been viewed seriously by the authorities,” said the order.
It warned that violation of these instructions shall invite strict disciplinary action under the Rules.
