New Delhi: To tighten the purse strings further, national carrier Air India has barred its officials from using luxury cabs while travelling within the country and asked them to put up only in crew hotels.
In a strongly-worded circular to "all concerned" on Saturday last, Air India Chairman and Managing Director Ashwani Lohani warned the officials of serious action in case of any violation of his instructions on austerity measures.
"I have been repeatedly emphasising on economy, curbing of wasteful expenditure and maintaining immaculate conduct and behaviour," he said.
Recalling that several instructions regarding official travel have been issued in the past, Lohani said, "Full time taxi shall not be hired for any officer (except CMD) while travelling in an overseas country."
"If any officer has to cover many points in a day that otherwise would be uncomfortable, to cover by point-to-point taxies, written prior approval need to be taken," according to the circular.
