The government wants to keep a tab on the activities of these touring officials.

The state government has directed its officials to submit detailed reports after attending these programmes to their concerned departments.

Chief secretary Manoj Pant has issued an order on 24 June to additional chief secretaries, principal secretaries and secretaries of respective departments to sensitise the issue among the officers, who are authorised to attend national and international programmes.

A section of errant officers regularly attend these official events but do not submit any post-event report to the state secretariat or to their departments with which they are associated.
