Jammu, March 15 (IANS) The Jammu and Kashmir government on Sunday named a new chairman and five members to the state Public Service Commission.
An official statement issued here said: “The cabinet … approved the appointment of Abdul Latief Deva as chairman, Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission.”
Other members of the commission are Reshi Dogra, Mushtaq Ahmad Wani, Indu Kelam, G.R. Bhagat and Munshi Muzzaffar Hussain.
The panel will now be sent to Governor N.N. Vohra for a formal appointment order.
The apex recruitment body that makes appointments to all the gazetted services in the administration and police had stopped functioning after its chairman and all other five members completed their terms of office last year.
A panel, including the chairman and five new members, had been sent to Vohra by the then chief minister Omar Abdullah last year. But the governor returned the panel to the state government with some queries.
The erstwhile government did not reply to the queries raised by Vohra.
