Requirement for Travel by Shortest Direct Route
125. According to Office Memorandum No. 19025/1/95-E.IV dated 21st March, 1995 (forwarded via No. 16-18/93-PAP dated 25.08.1995), what change was made regarding the routes permitted for travel on tour or transfer by rail?
Under Office Memorandum No. 19025/1/95-E.IV dated 21st March, 1995, the Government of India decided to delete certain exceptions (Orders No. 3, 7, and 20 under SR 30) that previously allowed government servants to travel via longer recognized routes due to a lack of direct train links. With the expansion of the railway network and the introduction of direct trains, these exceptions became redundant. Consequently, the order mandates that government servants must now travel by the shortest direct routes, specifically mentioning travel between Delhi/New Delhi and destinations like Visakhapatnam and Bangalore. This directive ensures adherence to the Supplementary Rules, which require journeys to be performed by the shortest and cheapest route.
