Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], August 27 (ANI): In a significant step towards modernising administrative processes, Kashmir Divisional Commissioner Vijay Kumar Bidhuri, has called upon the Head of Departments (HoDs) across all sectors to fully transition to the e-office platform.

The directive came during a crucial meeting held recently, where Bidhuri underlined the pivotal role of e-governance in streamlining official workflows for enhanced effectiveness.
