The Jammu and Kashmir government has enacted a series of stringent expenditure-control measures aimed at promoting fiscal discipline among its departments. An order from the Finance Department mandates immediate implementation of these measures, which include strict limits on official functions, foreign travel, vehicle purchases, and the creation of new posts. Official events such as conferences and workshops must be minimized and conducted only when absolutely necessary, with a strong discouragement against holding them outside the Union Territory. Meetings in private hotels are prohibited, and government facilities must be utilized instead. Additionally, the government has restricted vehicle purchases, allowing exceptions only for critical operational needs, and mandated the auction of condemned vehicles. Foreign travel is banned unless specifically approved, while domestic travel must be conducted in Economy Class. The order also emphasizes energy conservation, banning unnecessary use of official vehicles and equipment, and encourages a digital-first approach to reduce paper consumption. Overall, these measures reflect the government's commitment to fiscal responsibility and efficient resource management.
