Bihar Govt. employees mandated to visit tourist spots every three months and file reports

The Bihar Government has issued a new directive to State Government employees to undertake a mandatory two-day, two-night visit to State tourist destinations with their families once every three months and submit feedback reports to the Government on how to promote them. Travel by State Government employees, said the Government directive, is preferably scheduled for Fridays and Saturdays.

According to the new order issued by the Additional Chief Secretary of the General Administration Department (GAD) on May 20, Government employees have also been directed to visit at least three tourist spots comprising eco-tourism or rural tourism sites in districts other than their home district during each trip and stay overnight in the area. The duration of the travel and stay will be officially recognised as time spent on duty, said the directive.
