J&K UT: Now J&K IPS, IAS cadre will have to be scrapped
New Delhi, Aug 06: One of the key changes that would be effected, now that Jammu and Kashmir is a Union Territory is the change in the J&K IPS and IAS cadre.
Owing to this change the J&K cadre for the Indian Administrative Service and Indian Police Service will have to be scrapped. The civil service cadre would be part of the Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram and Union Territories (AGUMT) cadre.
In
addition
to
this,
since
Section
370
has
been
scrapped,
the
state
will
not
have
a
separate
flag.
Earlier
both
the
State
and
National
Flag
were
hoisted
side
by
side.
The
red
flag
of
Jammu
and
Kashmir
had
three
stripes,
representing
the
three
regions
of
the
erstwhile
state-
Jammu,
Kashmir
and
Ladakh.
The
plough
on
the
flag
represented
the
farmer.
The
flag
was
made
the
official
one
by
state
constituent
assembly
in
1952.
The
scrapping
of
Article
370
also
meant
that
the
separate
Constitution
of
J&K
ceases
to
exist.
