Jammu, July 16: Taking strong exception to the repeated complaints about the non-availability of the district and sectoral officers at their respective places of postings, government today restricted the touring activities of the senior officials.
 Sources in the General Administrative Department said that frequent complaints were pouring in about the non-availability of the officers at their offices especially in the far flung areas.
