Day after Punjab CM’s order, top Ferozepur officials report for work on time

Ferozepur, September 21

Following Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi’s orders asking government officials and staff to report for work at 9 am, most top officers, including Deputy Commissioner Vineet Kumar, today reached their respective offices in time at the District Administrative Complex (DAC) today.

However, junior officers, including lower division clerks, were seen arrive late at some offices here.

During the visit of the DAC, most offices were found vacant at 9 am. Some were being cleaned when staff started arriving.

While the DC and ADC (G) Sukhpreet Singh reached their office at 9 am, most of the junior staff reported for work between 9.10 am and 10 am. SSP Rajpal Singh Sandhu reached office in time and said those arriving late would be issued “show-cause” notice. The DC said a special team under the ADC and SDM would be constituted to check the attendance of officials. — OC
