Don’t misuse official cars, orders govt.

Officials of the Delhi government’s Social Welfare Department have been asked to submit an affidavit every month to certify that their official vehicles are not used for personal purposes.

The order issued on April 27 states that the department’s administrative section said it had observed that a “few officers” who had been given vehicles for “official purpose” were using cars to travel from home to office and back while also claiming transport allowance.

It also said that all officers who had been given access to cars would send an undertaking to the accounts branch by the 20th of every month stating that they had not used it for commuting to work from home and back.
