This Act mandates all municipalities in Jammu and Kashmir to maintain, catalog, and publish specific records at quarterly intervals. It applies to every local body established under the relevant 2000 municipal laws. The core purpose is transparency, requiring the release of information via public mediums such as newspapers and online platforms. This ensures citizens can access municipal details freely, without needing authorization. By enforcing regular disclosure, the Act promotes accountability and helps bridge the information gap between the administration and the public, enabling better-informed oversight of local government functions.
