Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has issued a directive to restrict official foreign travel for government officers until December 2025. The move aims to streamline administrative processes and ensure accountability.
The Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) has emphasized that any officer seeking permission for foreign travel must first submit reports on their previously undertaken official trips abroad. This requirement is to be strictly adhered to.
The directive specifically mandates that pending trip reports must be submitted without any further delay. This policy is intended to provide a clear overview of past foreign engagements and their outcomes before approving new ones.
The decision reflects a broader effort to enhance transparency and efficiency within the Karnataka government’s administrative framework. By curbing non-essential foreign travel and ensuring all past trips are properly documented, the government aims to optimize resource allocation and focus on domestic developmental priorities.
Further details regarding the implementation of this policy and any specific exemptions, if applicable, are expected to be communicated through official government channels.
