Delhi government has taken a big decision to get the work done in government offices on time. Now every employee in all the government offices of Delhi will have to mark attendance through biometric machine. This rule will apply to everyone from small employees to senior officers. This order was issued when CM Rekha Gupta suddenly inspected the GST office recently. During this period many employees did not reach office on time. After this the government took this decision.

Delhi Government has said that now all the offices of Delhi Government and Delhi Municipal Corporation will open at normal time as before. Earlier, due to pollution and GRAP, the timings of many offices were changed, but now after the removal of GRAP, the old timings have been re-implemented. According to the new order, all MCD offices will open at 9 am and will work till 5:30 pm. Whereas Delhi government offices will function from 9:30 am to 6 pm.

Biometric machines will be installed in every department

The government has clearly said that now it will be necessary to install biometric machines in every department. In the offices where the machine is already installed, it will have to be kept in working condition. The name, position and records of every employee will be entered in the machine. Now attendance will be counted only by machine. The government has also said that additional chief secretaries, secretaries, department heads and other senior officers will also mark their presence in the machine. No one will be exempted from this rule.

Action will be taken against these employees

According to the new order, senior officials of the department will check the attendance of the employees every day. Action will be taken against those who come late, leave early or do not mark attendance. The attendance report of senior officers will have to be sent to the Chief Secretary by 12 noon every day.

After this, the complete report will be given to the Chief Minister every month. It will also be written in the report that which officer reached the office at what time and when he left. If any officer or employee comes late without reason, departmental action can be taken against him.

Complaints were being received about not reaching office on time

The government says that complaints were being received for a long time that many employees do not reach office on time. Some employees leave early and many times the work of common people in the office is not completed on time. Due to this people have to wait for hours.

Talking about it, after the Corona period, biometric attendance was stopped in many government offices. And now due to pollution and GRAP, office timings were also changed. But now after the situation has become normal, the government has re-implemented the old rules.

The government believes that biometric attendance will increase discipline in offices, employees will come on time and work of common people will get done quickly. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has given a clear message to the officials that negligence in government offices will no longer be tolerated.
