Jammu: The Jammu and Kashmir government on Thursday ordered the premature retirement of two officers of the Prison and Transport departments.
These officers conducted their duties in ways that were unbecoming of public servants and in violation of the established code of conduct, an official press release informed.

“Out of these retirees, the officer belonging to the Prisons department was found involved in wrongdoings while performing his duties during his service career and had remained ineffective in discharging the assigned duties besides, had doubtful integrity.
“The other officer belonging to the Transport department was found involved in a serious criminal case for acquiring disproportionate assets and had doubtful integrity with inefficient performance during his service career,” the press release said.
