<h1>Chief minister orders weeklong outreach campaign from September 22 to 29 to educate public and traders on GST rate changes</h1> A state chief minister instructed ruling-party legislators and ministers to implement a weeklong statutory-change awareness campaign from September 22-29 following a national GST overhaul that shifts most items to 5% or 18% rates and raises rates for luxury/sin goods. The directive requires elected representatives and officials to conduct daily market visits, engage traders and consumers, promote indigenous goods, display campaign messaging, coordinate district-level implementation, and submit seven-day action plans to the chief minister. The campaign is framed as an administrative outreach to facilitate compliance, inform stakeholders of pricing effects, and support uniform execution across the state.
