Chandigarh bars air travel, hotel stay for officers visiting Delhi

Chandigarh Administrator Banwari Lal Purohit barred officers of the UT from travelling by air and staying in hotels during their visits to Delhi. Purohit took this decision following reports that some Chandigarh admin officers travelled in business class and stayed in five-star hotels in Delhi. Purohit, who is also the Punjab Governor, said, "As responsible officers, it is our moral duty that public money shouldn't be squandered and wasteful expenditure shouldn't be accepted at any cost.”
