"Making the transfer list public on social media platforms is a big security breach as terrorists now have a clear idea who is posted where," BJP spokesman Altaf Thakur said in a statement.
He urged the government to take strong note of the leak and zero in on the people who made the list public at a time when targetted killings are taking place in the Valley.
The BJP spokesman said that officers involved in the act should be reprimanded and action be taken against them.
Thakur said while the government was taking serious steps for the protection of Kashmiri Pandits, some officials were playing spoilsport.
