Srinagar: With normal life remaining paralysed across Kashmir Valley due to widespread protests, the Jammu and Kashmir government on Wednesday directed the Administrative Secretaries to ensure full attendance of employees besides warning action under rules for absentees.
The direction was passed by Chief Secretary B R Sharma who chaired a meeting of Administrative Secretaries here to review the attendance of government employees, an official spokesman said.
He said Sharma directed the Administrative Secretaries to ensure that all employees working in the departments under their administrative control including the subordinate offices attend to their duties regularly.
The Chief Secretary also instructed that employees, who remain un-unauthorisedly absent, should be asked to immediately report to their duties, failing which action as warranted under rules should be initiated against them, the spokesman said.
It was also noted that absence of such employees particularly in the educational institutions has been adversely affecting studies of the children, the spokesman said.
