There are clear instructions from the Chief Minister to ensure that government employees reach office on time so that the public doesn’t face any inconvenience. Those who will not take these directions seriously will face the music. Surprise checking will be held in future too and absentees will face departmental action.

The officials started checking attendance at 9.10 am. As many as 96 employees were found absent without any prior permission from their department heads. A number of employees reached late as per routine.

Jaggi issued show cause notices to all employees who were found absent during checking. He also instructed officials and employees to reach office on time.
