DoPT New Order- The new order of the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has brought relief to the Central employees. Now, under LTC, they will be able to travel by Vande Bharat Express, Tejas and Humsafar. These run on 230 routes.

Central employees will get a chance to travel in many more luxury trains under Leave Travel Concession (LTC). Under this, employees will be able to travel with their families in semi high speed trains Vande Bharat, Tejas and Humsafar. Earlier, they had the option of mail, express and some premium trains. But 230 more premium trains have been included. This decision has been taken by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).

More than 10000 trains are run by Indian Railways across the country. Apart from mail-express, premium trains are also included in this. Till now, central employees were getting the benefit of LTC in premium trains like Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto, apart from this, the only option was to travel by mail-express. But now, all will be able to travel in premium trains. The number of Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto trains is only 52. ​​Therefore, the options for travelling in premium trains for LTC were very less. But now, after the inclusion of 230 more premium trains, this number has reached 282.

Official said – both employees and railways will benefit

In this regard, Executive Director Information and Publicity of Railway Ministry Dilip Kumar said that both central employees and railways will benefit from this. While employees will get many options to travel in premium trains, the revenue of railways will also increase. In this way, in future, central employees will be able to go directly to Srinagar by premium trains (Vande Bharat).

Vande Bharat Express has the highest number among premium trains

Vande Bharat Express has the highest number among premium trains running at present. It is running on 136 routes. The highest number of Vande Bharat trains is 22 in Northern Railway Zone. Humsafar Express is second with 72. Rajdhani Express is running on 36 routes, Tejas Rajdhani on 14 routes, Shatabdi on 42 routes, Tejas Sitting on 8 routes and Gatiman Express on 2 routes.

Most of the big cities are covered by Vande Bharat. Vande Bharat is running in many cities both in the morning and evening. Humsafar Express is also running in most of the states of the country. Eight Tejas sitting trains and 14 Tejas Rajdhani trains are running between major cities. In this way, the new decision of the Department of Personnel and Training has brought relief to the central government employees.
