Jammu & Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha terminated services of two government employees, bringing total dismissals to 91. Farhat Ali Khanday, Education Department class-IV worker, allegedly operated for Hizb-ul-Mujahideen since 2011, distributing terror funds. Mohammad Shafi Dar, Rural Development Department employee, reportedly provided logistical support to Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists. Both dismissals invoked Article 311(2)(c), bypassing formal inquiry procedures.
