The Goa government’s Department of Personnel has issued a circular instructing all Heads of Departments (HODs) and senior officers not to proceed on leave or official tours without obtaining prior approval.
The circular emphasizes strict compliance with established procedures, warning that any violations will be dealt with in accordance with the Central Civil Services (CCS) Rules.
This directive aims to ensure administrative discipline and smooth functioning across departments, particularly in critical periods when officer availability is essential for governance and public service delivery.
