Jammu and Kashmir Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo on Tuesday listened to the issues and concerns of ex-servicemen highlighted by Lieutenant General Navin Sachdeva, GOC 16 Corps based in Nagrota, in his office at Civil Secretariat, Jammu. A spokesperson said some of the core demands raised with the Chief Secretary included compilation and complete digitisation of the database of all the ex-servicemen of J&K for proper management of the cadre besides preservation and easy maintenance of records for posterity.

They also asked for allowing them to apply for government jobs under ex-servicemen quota in the last year of their service as the recruitment process takes some months in its completion.

In order to bring added efficiency in grievance resolution, the Chief Secretary advised them to utilise the ‘JK Samadhan’ portal for registration of their grievances. He said this platform gives seamless access to the administration and ensures timely resolution of grievances with quality outcomes up to the optimum satisfaction of the aggrieved persons.
