"A high-powered committee headed by JK Chief Secretary Madhav Lal has yesterday finalised the department-specific instruction-cum-guidelines manual for transfer of power to panchayats with directions for strict compliance," an official spokesman said here today.
The Chief Secretary had series of meetings with administrative secretaries in this regard to crystallise the recommendations towards empowering the panchayats into action, he said.

It also dwelt on the aspect of dovetailing of resources and effective collaboration between departments serving common interests.
