Srinagar, December 10, 2021 (PPI-OT):In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir Bank suspended a female employee for her reaction to a social media post about a recent helicopter crash in Indian state of Tamil Nadu. According to Kashmir Media Service, reportedly the employee has used a laughing emoji on a news post which was related to the death of Indian Chief of Defense Staff, General Bipin Rawat, who died in a chopper crash along with his wife and 12 other defense persons in the helicopter crash in Coonoor area of Tamil Nadu.

Accordingly, some users took the screenshot of the post, on which she had reacted and asked J and K Bank to take action against the employee. The user accused the employee of “celebrating the helicopter crash of CDS Bipin Rawat.”

An order issued by J and K Bank reads that from time to time the Bank has issued repeated circulars against misuse of social media platforms by employees against the interests/rules of the Bank. This is the second incident of this month when employees have been cornered on their respective social media posts. Earlier a show-cause notice was issued against the employee of the Forest Department for criticizing the Power Development Department for poor electricity through Facebook.
