Panjab University extends Covid measures till June 9

Chandigarh, June 1

The committee constituted for reviewing the status of the Covid-19 cases in Panjab University approved 9 am to 2 pm as the office timings till June 9.

The committee met today and decided to change the office timings to contain the spread of the virus. “The office timings of the university will be observed from 9 am to 2 pm till June 9. Only 50 per cent staff will be allowed to work. However, the Controlling Officers/heads of the branches/departments may call the staff beyond 2 pm depending upon the exigency of the work at staggered timings and ensuring that the attendance of staff at any time should not exceed the stipulated limit of 50 per cent. Officers at the level of the Office Superintendent and above will attend the office on a daily basis,” said a PU spokesperson.

It was further added: “The remaining non-attending 50 per cent staff will work from home under the instructions of their Controlling Officers and they will remain available through e-modes (telephone, e-mail and video conference). No staff will leave the station without prior approval by the Controlling Officer. Also, there will be no public dealing till June 9 except with a prior appointment of the HOD concerned, that too for urgent issues only. With respect to field workers, the heads concerned of the department/office may take a decision to stagger their timings/strength, keeping in view the Covid-19 protocol.” — TNS
