Srinagar, Aug 14 (NVI): Divisional Commissioner Kashmir Anshul Garg on Friday said no order had been issued directing employees appointed under the Prime Minister’s Package to work from home, urging people to rely only on information shared through official government channels.
Garg was responding to reports that PM package employees had been verbally asked to work from home amid security concerns ahead of Independence Day celebrations.
“No such order has been issued,” he said, adding that adequate security arrangements had been put in place for employees, residents and the general public in Srinagar.
“We should rely on authentic information channels provided by the government and the administration,” Garg said.
The divisional commissioner also extended Independence Day greetings to the people and invited them to attend the main celebrations at Bakshi Stadium on Saturday.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah will unfurl the national flag and address the gathering at 10 am.
Garg said a full-dress rehearsal for the celebrations was held at Bakshi Stadium on Thursday, with parade contingents and cultural groups participating after nearly 20 days of preparations.
He said security agencies had also conducted a detailed review of the arrangements to ensure the smooth and secure conduct of the Independence Day celebrations.(NVI)
