New Delhi (07.01.2021): The Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram, and Union territories cadre (AGMUT) was expanded on 07/01/2021, through a Presidential order, to include All India Service Officers of IAS, IPS, and IFoS, belonging to the erstwhile J&K cadre. The expanded cadre officials could now be posted to the Union Territories of J&K as well as Ladakh. This also implies that henceforth, a larger number of fresh AIS officers would be assigned to the AGMUT cadre to enhance its personnel strength. The Presidential Order was issued to overcome legal requirements that could be fulfilled only through passing the requisite amendment to the principal act of Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019 through Parliament. Since Parliament isn't in session at the moment, the presidential order, in the form of an Ordinance, was issued.
