No J&K official can go outside state, country without prior approval, GAD

Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Government on Thursday asked its Departments not to depute any officer or official for training outside the State or country without the prior approval of the General Administration Department (GAD).
“It has been observed that some Departments depute or nominate officers outside the state or country for training programme at their own level without consultation/approval of the General Administration Department which tantamount to violation of the circular instructions and making the concerned officers liable for action,” said a Circular issued by GAD.
It is, therefore, impressed upon all the Administrative Secretaries to ensure that the proposals involving deputation or visit of officers for undergoing training programmes or other official work outside the state or country are submitted to the General Administration Department for obtaining prior approval of the Competent Authority and issuance of orders by GAD, it said.
