Cracking the whip on latecomers, the Delhi government’s WCD department has issued a show-cause notice to its 49 officials for coming to office late and asked them to submit their replies within three days.

Those issued the notice on July 13 include assistance directors, junior assistants, welfare officers, deputy directors, consultant, supervisor and steno, among others.

“It is being continuously seen since the past few days that many of our colleagues come very later than the scheduled office hours and leave before the end of office hours, this is affecting the efficiency of the department. Such carelessness and negligence is not tolerable, this feeling should be within all of you that your duty is to be performed in a time-bound manner and with integrity. But it doesn’t seem to be happening,” the notice, issued in Hindi, stated.

While stating that the department has been continuously working for the weaker sections of the society, it said that “their success story will remain incomplete if you and we remain seriously away from our responsibilities”.
