New Delhi: Continuing the travel bonanza for 'babus', the government on Friday extended the rules - relaxing air travel to visit Jammu & Kashmir under the Leave Travel Concession (LTC) scheme - for another two years (till June 17, 2014). The move will allow all categories of central government employees to travel to Jammu & Kashmir by air, using either Air India or private airlines. But, they can travel only in 'Economy Class', irrespective of their entitlement.
"The idea is not only to provide the central government employee an additional facility as an incentive, but also to give a much needed boost to tourism in J&K in the wake of continuing peace in the Valley", said a senior official of the ministry of personnel which came out with an 'office memorandum' (OM) relating to extension of this facility on Friday.
