As many as 350 government employees, all Kashmiri Pandits, in the Kashmir valley have tendered resignation on Friday a day after their colleague Rahul Bhat was shot dead by terrorists inside his office in Kashmir's Budgam district.
According to reports, the employees wrote a letter to J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, saying they did not feel safe in Kashmir anymore. These employees have been provided employment under the Prime Minister's package for the displaced.
