Governor said that he and the secretary of the bank have given directions to the subordinate staff for ensuring smooth functioning of the bank.
“Some youth and bank officials came to meet me at Raj Bhawan and told me about the irregularities in the recruitment process for the appointments made by the bank. But, whatever they told me was not the Gospel truth. Things will come to the fore only after an enquiry,” he said Wednesday in his first media interaction in Jammu.

On corruption in Kashmir, the Governor said that some people have been distorting his statements by claiming that entire Kashmiri community is corrupt.

I want to end this culture to make every resident of Kashmir happy and wealthy and it will be possible only after corruption will come to an end.”
Earlier, the governor had, in an interview with delhi based News Channel Time Now, stated the previous PDP-BJP Government changed the complete selection list of 582 candidates in Jammu and Kashmir Bank so as to appoint political workers at their place. (PTK)
