Jammu, Jan 15: The Jammu and Kashmir government, while emphasizing its commitment to job creation, has issued a detailed austerity policy that imposes strict limits on new employment opportunities and fiscal expenditure.
The Govt has categorically stated that no new posts will be created. Filling of regular vacancies is to be undertaken exclusively through the Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board or the Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission, and only with the concurrence of the Finance Department.
Positions that have remained vacant for more than two years are to be surrendered and will not be revived except under rare and unavoidable circumstances, subject to clearance from the Finance Department.
The order, issued by the Finance Department, also specifies a range of expenditure management measures for the financial year 2024-25.
Seminars and conferences are to be organised only when necessary, with a strong discouragement of events outside Jammu and Kashmir.
Meetings and conferences are banned at private hotels, requiring the use of government venues instead.
