2. In this regard, it is has now been decided that:

Child care leave should be renamed as special enjoyment leave
The original object of CCL will defeat if employees allowed to proceed on foreign travels. If the spouse is working abroad then such employee may be permitted to travel abroad. Otherwise disadvantages are inevitable to travel to Europe, Singapore, Dubai and such other countries as tourists on CCL. Since OM is issued, no Competent Authority will deny request of lady employees. I think this requires reconsideration by the authorities concerned.
