Srinagar, June 04: Lieutenant Governor (LG) Manoj Sinha on Saturday appointed Satish Chandra as Chairman, Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission.

The order issued in this regard read, “In exercise of the powers …, the Lieutenant Governor, Jammu and Kashmir is pleased to appoint Satish Chandra as Chairman, Public Service Commission for the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

“He shall hold the position of the Chairman, Public Service Commission, till he attains the age of sixty-two years. His appointment shall take effect from the date he assumes the office. By order of the Lieutenant Governor,” reads an order issued by Manoj Kumar Dwivedi, Principal Secretary.

Earlier, the administration had formed a search committee for making suitable recommendations for selection of Chairman and Members of Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission.

Last month, the government appointed Dr Farooq Ahmad Lone, member of the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (JKPSC) as its interim chairman with effect from April 24, 2022.

With the retirement of PSC Member Dr Farooq Ahmad Lone, who is also acting as adhoc Chairman since the superannuation of then Chairman B R Sharma on April 26, the Commission’s strength will reduce to three Members thus failing to complete the mandated quorum for transaction of any business.

The present strength of JKPSC is only four members, including Dr Farooq Ahmad Lone, who is also acting as the Chairman since superannuation of B R Sharma last month, and three others, namely S A Mujtaba, Des Raj and Zubair Ahmad Raza.
