Clarification

In the news item, “Steps to rein in govt employees”, published on February 20, it was inadvertently mentioned that “The Punjab Government has reportedly asked all administrative secretaries to monitor social media networks of any employee criticising or commenting adversely about policies of the government”. No such order has been issued by the Punjab Government. The error is regretted.
