Officers and staff of the department to maintain cleanliness and punctuality strictly

"Cabinet Secretary in his recent directives to Revenue Secretary has emphasised that cleanliness of work areas and improvement in the over-all ambience of office buildings as also punctuality on the part of the officials should be reviewed on sustained basis so that there is a visible improvement and that there are no report of slippages in this regard,'"
"The importance of clean and tidy office which gives an air of efficiency and observance of punctuality which is essential for maintenance of office decorum and discipline needs hardly be emphasised. Accordingly, the following instructions are brought to the notice of all Cadre Controlling Principal CCsIT and the offices under their jurisdictions for information and compliance and to help them to discharge their responsibilities in a more effective and efficient manner: "
"All the officers and staff working in offices under cadre control of Pr.CCsIT should strictly observe the prescribed office timings. It should be ensured that they do not overstay the lunch break and leave offices early before closing of office hours. No amount of external efforts can bring about improvements in punctuality of the officials on sustained basis unless Heads of Departments themselves take a personal interest in the same and observe the prescribed office hours. Therefore, all HODS may be instructed to conduct regular ,unannounced and surprise punctuality checks alongwith checking of attendance registers of the offices to see that the officials are observing office hours meticulously. Habitual latecomers may also be warned to mend their ways failing which disciplinary action may be taken against them. "

JCA, West Bengal suspends agitation

As informed earlier in this blog, JCA West Bengal withdraws the ongoing agitation. As per their version, CBDT's decision to form a committee to look into the phasing out of posts from West Bengal region is a appreciable gesture and in response, they decided to "temporarily" withdraw the ongoing agitation since 4th April 2014.
It may be noted that JCA is happy enough on relook of the phasing out of posts only which is likely to be effected in future but the discrimination in cadre review (Not getting even a single ITO post) seems to be accepted by the unions !
Sincere thanks to CBDT for providing the face saving formula !
