received about Govt. employees who had inadvertently travelled by private
airlines to J&K during the gap period i.e. from 28.11.2015 to 31.05.2016,

consultation with Department of Expenditure and Ministry of Civil Aviation. In
relaxation to this Department's O.M. of even no. dated 28.11.2014, it has been
