The members of the Cadres of India Forest Service for the State of Jammu and Kashmir shall be allocated in

UT of Jammu and Kashmir
UT of Ladakh
other states of India
Both (A) and (B)

The correct answer is: Both (A) and (B).

The members of the Cadres of India Forest Service for the State of Jammu and Kashmir shall be allocated in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir and the UT of Ladakh. This is because the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, which bifurcated the state of Jammu and Kashmir into two UTs, also provided for the continuation of the All India Services in the UTs of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

The All India Services are a group of elite civil services in India that are recruited through the Civil Services Examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). The members of the All India Services are allocated to different states and UTs of India on the basis of their merit in the Civil Services Examination.

The members of the Cadres of India Forest Service for the State of Jammu and Kashmir are also recruited through the Civil Services Examination. After being recruited, they are allocated to the UT of Jammu and Kashmir. However, they can also be transferred to the UT of Ladakh, or to any other state or UT of India, on the basis of their merit and the requirements of the service.

The members of the Cadres of India Forest Service for the State of Jammu and Kashmir are responsible for the management of forests and wildlife in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir. They also play a role in the protection of the environment and the promotion of sustainable development in the UT.
