Jammu & Kashmir prohibits government employees from strikes, protests

The Jammu & Kashmir authorities have banned employees from participating in demonstrations and strikes, warning of severe consequences if they do. The order comes after instances of employees going on strike for various reasons, including delayed salary payments and administrative matters. Last year, protests occurred when government employees refused to return to work after targeted attacks on non-local staff. The order invokes Rule 20(ii) of the Jammu and Kashmir Government Employees (Conduct) Rules, 1971, which prohibits government employees from engaging in or supporting strikes.
