The State Administrative Council (SAC) which met under the chairmanship of Governor Satya Pal Malik on Wednesday considered promotion of IAS officers of the J&K cadre, two each of 1987, 1988 and 1989 batches, to the apex scale.

The SAC approved the promotion of Pardip Kumar Tripathi, Sudhanshu Panday, Sundeep Kumar Nayak, Arun Kumar Mehta, Atal Dulloo and Umang Narula to the apex scale with effect from February 2019. The promotion of the first three officers, who are currently on Central deputation, would be on a pro-forma basis. The promotions were recommended by the screening committee.

Approval to posts of veterinary pharmacists

The SAC also approved re-designation of 400 posts of paravets as veterinary pharmacists and stock assistants in the animal and sheep husbandry departments which were created in September last year. Since the posts of paravets did not exist in the departments as per rules, a need was felt to re-designate these posts to ensure early recruitment.

Fast-tracking of family disputes

The SAC approved establishment of two family courts, one each at Jammu and Srinagar in the first phase along with creation of 29 posts of various categories for each court, to promote conciliation in, and secure speedy settlement of, disputes relating to marriage and family affairs and for matters connected thereto.

Promotion scheme for homeopathic officers

The SAC approved a time-bound promotion scheme for homeopathic medical officers on the pattern of allopathic and Ayurvedic/Unani doctors.
