As per the government notification, of these eight high-end vehicles, four will be used in Delhi, while two each will be kept at the disposal of CM in Srinagar and Jammu.
The social circles were abuzz asking the CM whether he thinks if there are any more important priorities in the UT than buying fresh high-end vehicles for his entourage.
