New Delhi, October 11

The government today extended by two more years, till September 25, 2024, the facility that allows its employees to visit Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Northeast while availing the leave travel concession (LTC).

The eligible central government employees get reimbursement of tickets for to-and-fro journeys, besides paid leave when they avail the LTC, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said in the order.

The scheme allowing government servants to travel by air to the Northeast, UTs of J&K, Ladakh and Andaman and Nicobar Islands is extended for a further period of two years — from September 26, 2022, to September 25, 2024, it said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
