Srinagar, October 5
The government has relieved Baseer Ahmad Khan of his charge as advisor to the J&K Lieutenant Governor with immediate effect. According to an order issued by the general administration department, Khan, a retired IAS officer of 2000 batch, was relieved of the charge following a communication from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.
His removal came all of a sudden and the reasons behind it were not immediately known.
Khan was made advisor in March last year when GC Murmu was the Lieutenant Governor and he continued in the post under Murmu’s successor Manoj Sinha. — PTI
