Delhi's Chief Secretary, Rajeev Kumar, has issued a stern reminder to government employees to mark their biometric attendance or face disciplinary measures. This warning comes after Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's surprise inspection revealed a significant number of officials absent from their posts. Following this inspection, biometric attendance was mandated for all staff across government departments. Kumar held a meeting with Heads of Departments, stressing the importance of compliance and indicating that strict actions would be taken against those who fail to adhere to the guidelines. Show-cause notices have already been dispatched to several officers for non-compliance. Additionally, the government has implemented staggered work hours to promote fuel savings, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for conservation amid global tensions. The Public Works Department has reiterated the necessity of regular attendance and encouraged practices like carpooling and the use of electric vehicles to further reduce emissions. Daily attendance reports are now required to be submitted to the Chief Secretary, ensuring accountability among government employees.
