Explanation:

Jammu and Kashmir administration undertook a series of economy and austerity measures for all Government departments and autonomous bodies.

As per the directive, all government officers of Jammu and Kashmir administration would travel by economy class.

Administration also ordered complete ban on holding of official dinners and lunches, meetings and conferences at private hotels, purchase of new vehicles and new furniture except certain conditions.

The directives were issued for last quarter of the financial year of 2021-22.

The Government also imposed 10 percent economy cut on Office Expenses (OE), LTC, Telephone, Petrol, Research & Survey and Hospitality & Sumptuary, conduct of camps and seminars and travel expenses out of the Budget Estimates of 2021-22.
