SRINAGAR: The Department of Labour and Employment, Jammu and Kashmir, has issued a clarification regarding selectively edited video clips circulating on social media, originating from a review meeting chaired by the Secretary, Labour and Employment Department, on October 14, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The Department clarified that the extensive review meeting focused on assessing departmental performance across all 20 districts of Jammu and Kashmir. It further stated that the complete recording of the meeting is available with the National Informatics Centre (NIC).
During the deliberations, the Chair emphasised the high expectations associated with Mission YUVA and urged district officers to work with utmost dedication, responsibility and commitment. The officers were reminded of the importance of ensuring effective implementation of the mission and timely delivery of its benefits to eligible youth.
The Department reiterated that mutual respect, discipline and professional decorum are essential in official interactions, and that all officers and officials are expected to maintain due respect towards their seniors while discharging their official duties. It also emphasised that provocative remarks and inappropriate language have no place in professional administrative engagements, which must remain guided by mutual respect, restraint and institutional dignity.
Expressing regret over the developments surrounding the meeting, the Department stated that the circulation of selectively edited video clips by certain social media handles, without the complete context of the proceedings, was a matter of concern. It reiterated that the clips being circulated are unverified and that selective editing of internal administrative discussions may create a misleading impression of the actual proceedings.
The Department further stated that the matter would be taken to its logical conclusion in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations. The Department has appealed to members of the media and the public to exercise caution and refrain from sharing or relying on unverified and sensationalised content circulating on social media. It reiterated its commitment to youth empowerment, effective implementation of Mission YUVA and improved public service delivery across Jammu and Kashmir.
