Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 19: Amid reports that some employees are openly criticizing government policies on social media despite being government servants, the Union Territory administration has decided to monitor the activities of such elements.
Any employee- found involved in posting anti-government comments on social media, will have to face action because the government has directed officers to keep watch on the activities of its employees on social media.
After constituting a panel to single out terror-friendly employees in the administration, Jammu and Kashmir government will now check public servants' activities on social media platforms.
To keep a watch on the activities of anti-nationals who have managed to sneak into administration, the Jammu and Kashmir government has decided to take action against those employees who will post “unfavourable” comments on social media.
Reports said that the Jammu and Kashmir administration has directed all administrative secretaries to monitor the social media networks to identify employees who are making unfavourable comments on government policies and issue notices to them.
The direction was passed by Chief Secretary A K Mehta at a meeting held at Jammu recently with instructions to the General Administrative Department (GAD) to issue a necessary circular in this regard.
Sources said that administrative secretaries have been directed to keep a watch on the social media accounts of all employees of their respective departments.
During the meeting, it was observed that some government employees have been critical of the government policies and achievements and are making unfavourable comments on social media platforms.
Sources said Mehta directed all administrative secretaries to monitor the social media networks regularly and issue notices to these employees under intimation to the GAD.
As a follow-up to the directions of the chief secretary, the sources said the concerned district magistrates flashed urgent messages to all district and sectoral officers and directed them to sensitize their subordinate staff about the directions till the time GAD comes out with a necessary circular. |
