Secys asked to attend House Committee meetings

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, June 4: Taking cognizance of the complaint that recommendations made by Financial and other committees were not being followed strictly, the General Administration Department has asked all the Administrative Secretaries to attend  the meetings of Financial and other House Committees and furnishing of Action Taken Reports.
The concerned officers should ensure that they attend the meetings of the Financial and other Committees and in case of unavoidable circumstances, the next senior officer in the department should represent in the meeting, says a circular issued in this regard.
Further, the circular added, the concerned department should provide the necessary documents to the committee at least two days prior to the scheduled meeting besides expediting furnishing of action taken on the reports presented by various committees. The action taken on the reports tabled in the House in March 2014 should be furnished immediately to the Assembly Secretariat, the circular says.
The issue came up for discussions during a meeting taken by the Speaker J&K Legislative Assembly with the Chairpersons of the Financial and other House committees today.
