Even after AC approval, Audit Offices in districts yet to be established

Directorate doesn’t have proper, functional website

Details of inspections, complaints not available in public domain

JAMMU, Apr : Even several months after the approval of the Administrative Council headed by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, the Audit Offices in the districts have yet not been established by the Directorate of Audit and Inspections. Moreover, details of inspections being carried out and the handling of complaints are not available in the public domain mainly because Directorate doesn’t have proper and functional website.
The Administrative Council, the highest decision making body in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, in its meeting held on October 28, 2021 approved the strengthening of Audit and Inspections Directorate by creating 54 posts at various levels to ensure establishment of District Audit Offices.
