The Cuttack Municipal Corporation (CMC) has taken a stern approach to address the issue of tardiness among its employees. New CMC Commissioner Kirandeep Kaur Sahota has issued show-cause notices to 30 employees for reporting late to duty.
- Show-Cause Notices: The notices were issued to employees who were found absent from their seats despite office hours starting at 10 am.
- Salary Stoppage: The employees have been asked to explain within 24 hours why their salaries should not be stopped due to their negligence.
- Commissioner's Reaction: Sahota was reportedly upset upon finding most cleaners and sweepers absent when she visited the office at 10:30 am, prompting her to take swift action.
- Disciplinary Action: The CMC's move aims to enforce discipline and punctuality among its employees.
- Warning to Erring Staff: The action serves as a warning to employees to adhere to office hours and maintain their duties responsibly.
