SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir government has clarified that Nasir Aslam Wani has been officially appointed as Advisor to the Chief Minister, dispelling recent “misleading” reports questioning his appointment. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister’s office said the delay in finalising these details has been unnecessarily highlighted, creating an impression that the appointment itself was incomplete. Despite this procedural delay, Wani has been actively contributing to governance in Jammu and Kashmir, assisting the Chief Minister on a range of policy and administrative matters. The CM office said that clarification was necessary in light of circulating reports that did not reflect the official position. Wani, a prominent political leader, has been engaged in various governance initiatives in recent weeks, underscoring his functional role as Advisor to the Chief Minister.
