After ‘irrational’ foreign visits by officials, Meghalaya Cabinet’s check

Due to the irrational frequency of the foreign visits by senior officers, the Meghalaya Cabinet has rationalized such visits. The Cabinet has taken fiscal limitation into account while declaring the decision. According to the information, the frequency of the visits does not tally with the results. The cabinet also decided that, if the same official has to undertake the second visit, he/she should first submit progress report of the first visit. The Cabinet has limited foreign visits by officials to two visits per financial year. However, only after the first visit is found satisfactory, the second visit will be cleared by the state government.
