Sub : Extension of Special Package for North-Eastern Region 2 year from 1/5/2012
Declaration of extention of LTC for NR only period for two years is not correct. As per my opinion 100% financial package declation is required for destination like Andaman Nicobar /J&K/North east etc. which will be very very recoverable of financial loss of indian airlines, development of destination such as Andaman Nicobar /J&K/North east etc.as well as travel satisfaction for central govt servants to encourage working attitude and health.
Can a Government Servent, who is not entitle to travel by air,travel by private airline from Kolkata or Guvahati to NER against the LTC ?
Can a non-entitled Goverment Servent Travel by Private Airlines for NER LTC?
Whether Group B include Group B (NG) for the purpose of LTC to NER
I have already availed LTC to NE in 2008-09(conversion of home town). Can I avail again in for 2101-11(conversion of home town)another LTC to NE.
what about the people who are permanent resident of the NER.Why they r not being provided to avail this facility.
Sir kindly get me the rulings wheather a central government employee who has availed north east LTC for the block year 2010-13 can avail the LTC to north east in next block or not?(9891058999)
