Finance Dept Sends Intern Stipend Hike Request to Health Dept, Jammu & Kashmir

The Finance Department of Jammu & Kashmir has referred a demand for a stipend hike from interns to the Health Department, as reported by Kashmir Life. The interns, who are currently working under the Finance Department, had submitted a formal request for a higher stipend. Instead of addressing the request internally, the Finance Department decided to forward the matter to the Health Department, which is responsible for overseeing stipend policies for interns across government departments. The decision has raised questions about the coordination between departments and the process for handling stipend adjustments for interns in the state.
