Haryana guidelines regarding foreign travel by Govt officials

CHANDIGARH, MARCH 14
 The Haryana Government has issued guidelines   regarding foreign travel by government officials.
          While stating this here today, an official spokesman said that the provisions of the All India (Conduct) Rules, 1968 be complied with by the officers working in connection with the State. Every member of the service shall not place himself under any financial or other obligations to any individual or organization which may influence him in the performance of his official duty. The rules further state that the member of the service shall avoid accepting lavish hospitality or frequent hospitality from persons having official dealings with them or from industrial or commercial firms or other organisations.
          He said that the Government has decided that privately sponsored foreign visits of officers by private organisations should be avoided. It has come to the notice of the Government that many Departments refer matters to the Government for cadre clearance where the expenses of entire foreign visit are borne by a private agency or organization with whom the department has official dealings.
          He said that a written communication to this effect has been sent to all Administrative Secretaries, Head of departments, Managing Directors of Boards and Corporations, Divisional Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners urging them that the provisions of these rules must be adhered to while sending any proposal for cadre clearance to the Personnel Department of the State Government.
