The Jammu and Kashmir government has constituted Industrial Tribunals and appointed Enquiry Officers and an Appellate Authority under the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, through three separate notifications. The first notification, issued by the Labour and Employment Department, sets up tribunals with headquarters in Jammu and Srinagar to adjudicate industrial disputes and perform other functions under the Code. In the second notification, Deputy Labour Commissioners for Jammu and Kashmir divisions have been appointed as Enquiry Officers for their respective regions. The third notification designates the Labour Commissioner of J&K as the Appellate Authority. All orders have been issued by the Lieutenant Governor.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both kashmirlife.net and Greater Kashmir reported the J&K government notifications identically, with no difference in framing, emphasis, or attribution. Neither source added analysis, commentary, or any government-critical or supportive language. This is uniform straight reporting of administrative appointments. The coverage simply lists the three notifications, the officials appointed, and the legal provisions cited. The only newsworthy element is the operational step of setting up these bodies under the 2020 Code, which had not been previously activated in the UT.
