After announcement of date, curbs kicked in on 'misuse' of resources

The General Administration Department (GAD) issued a comprehensive set of instructions on Tuesday, detailing the restrictions on the sanctioning of funds, work orders, and use of government vehicles by officials, ministers, and the Chief Minister (CM). These measures are intended to ensure a level playing field and prevent any undue political advantage during the campaign.

The GAD's orders made it clear that no fresh funds can be sanctioned under any existing schemes, and no new work orders or tenders can be issued during the election period.
