The J&K government on Thursday directed all government officers and officials of public sector undertakings stationed at Jammu to attend the January 26 Republic Day function “as a part of their official duty”.

A government circular asked all the heads of the departments and Chief Executives of Public Sector Undertakings “to ensure their own participation and also of the employees subordinate to them in the function.”

The main function of the Republic Day is being held at Maulana Azad Stadium, Jammu, where the Lieutenant Governor will preside and take the salute.
