    What's the story

    Central government employees may soon be able to go abroad on Leave Travel Concession (LTC), top officials said today.

    A proposal in the same regard has been finalized by the Personnel Ministry, which has now asked for comments from other departments concerned such as Home, Tourism, Civil Aviation, and Expenditure "at the earliest possible" time, the officials added.

    Scheme proposes to include these five central Asian countries

    The plan, which has been mooted by the External Affairs Ministry, proposes to include Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan under the LTC scheme, the top officials said, citing a communique in this regard.

    The move to allow central government employees to visit these countries is aimed at increasing India's footprint in the strategically important Central Asian region, they said.
