The Jammu and Kashmir administration has recently transferred 11 officers to various new departments.
The move comes after the state faced a shortage in the number of officers available, after the central deputation of various Jammu–based IAS officers was mandated. To overcome this shortage, the administration put charges of multiple departments on its bureaucrats.
