Shajapur officials miss 10 am deadline; Collector to inspect offices himself

Officials and employees of government offices in Shajapur are not reaching work on time despite the Collector's order. The Collector had made attendance mandatory by 10 am, but on Thursday morning, at 10 am and even after, officials and employees were found missing from many offices. The order is not being followed.

A few days ago, the Collector had directed officials and employees of all government offices in the district to be present at 10 am without fail. Even so, on Thursday employees and officials did not turn up on time in several departments located in the Collector's office complex.

Administrative work across the district is monitored from the district headquarters. Yet punctuality was found lacking in the offices at the headquarters itself. With officials and employees not available at the appointed time, people who come for government work may face inconvenience.

Collector Dr Parikshit Sanjay Rao Jhade said he would personally inspect various government offices. He said that any official or employee found absent at the appointed time during this would face action. The Collector will now visit offices himself to check whether the order is being followed.
