Explainer: Why Rohtak made biometric attendance mandatory for govt employees
DC observed that many officials/employees were not marking their biometric attendance within prescribed office timings
The non-availability of government employees during office hours has been a common complaint among citizens. At times, officials remain out for official duties, but on some occasions, they also remain unavailable without a valid reason, causing inconvenience to visitors. People often have to wait for a long time due to lack of information about the officer concerned whereabouts. Taking serious note of it, Deputy Commissioner (DC) Sachin Gupta has issued directions to ensure that all government employees remain present in their offices during working hours. He has also instructed that whenever an employee goes out for any reason (official or personal), it must be properly recorded. These directions are considered vital for improving accountability and ensuring timely public service delivery.
