Govt Asks IAS Officers To File IPRs, Warns ‘Disciplinary Proceedings’ Over Failure

Srinagar, Jan 1(GNS): The Government on Wednesday asked all the IAS officers working in connection with the affairs of the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir to file Immovable Property Returns (IPR) online by January ending, underlining that failure constitutes “good and sufficient” reason for institution of disciplinary proceedings.

“Pursuant to the instructions issued by Department of Personnel & Training, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Government of India, regarding filing of Immovable Property Returns (IPR) by the IAS Officers, various circular instructions have been issued by the GAD from time to time,” reads a government circular, a copy of which lies with GNS.

“In terms of Rule 16(2) of AIS (Conduct) Rules, 1968, every member of the service is required to submit his/her annual Immovable Property Return (IPR) by 31 January of this year, failure whereof constitutes good and sufficient reason for institution of disciplinary proceedings,” it said, adding, “Moreover, vide notification dated 30.12.2021, Rule 3(1) of IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 has been amended to make filing of IPR mandatory for being considered for appointment to the next level of pay matrix.”

The government said every IAS officer can submit his and her IPR either electronically or upload scanned copy of the manually filled in IPR. “This online module closes automatically after the prescribed timeline of 31 January in respect of filing of IPR of preceding year.”
In terms of the extant Rules, it said, the IAS officers have to necessarily file IPRS electronically as there is no provision for submission of IPRs manually.

“The timely submission of IPRs, has assumed significance as in terms of DoPT’s instruction late submission of IPR results in denial of vigilance clearance,” the government said, adding, “The IAS officers working in connection with the affairs of the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir are, accordingly, advised to observe the above instructions in letter & spirit.” (GNS)

Anantnag Man Takes Initiative to Make Village Smoke-Free

‘After Two Months, Many Elderly Quit Smoking; Shopkeepers Stop Selling Cigarettes; Locals Hopeful for Other Villagers to Follow Initiative’

Anantnag, Jan 1 (JKNS): Mir Jafar, a resident of Sheikgund Shangus in Anantnag, has taken the lead in transforming his village into a “smoke-free zone.” Over the past two months, he has worked with shopkeepers and elders in the community to reduce the sale and consumption of tobacco products.

“We urged shopkeepers to stop selling tobacco. While it may bring some loss, I reminded them that Allah will reward them for their efforts. We hope other neighborhoods will follow our example,” Jafar told the news agency—JKNS.

He said shopkeepers have completely stopped selling cigarettes and tobacco, and many elders who smoked for 40-50 years have given it up. This is a noteworthy achievement.

A local resident praised the effort saying, I am grateful to the elders, youth, and especially Jafar Sahib for this initiative. Alhamdulillah, even if it’s not 100%, at least 90% change is visible. Shopkeepers now avoid selling cigarettes.

Notably, this initiative has brought hope for a healthier lifestyle and has inspired nearby communities to adopt similar measures.

It is worth noting that a 2022 survey revealed that Jammu and Kashmir spends ₹850 crore annually on tobacco products, including cigarettes. (JKNS)
