The problem of officers and staff staying outside their
Headquarters and at times even outside their jurisdiction, has been assuming critical
proportions. This is a serious impropriety, bordering on dereliction of duty
and has to be effectively checked. Government servants are expected to be on
duty all the time. If they are not available at their headquarters or even in
their jurisdiction, this naturally would badly affect administrative efficiency
and bring in turn the administration to disrupt. Even though specific
instructions have been issued in this regard in the D.O. letter cited,
instances are coming to the notice of the Government, that the instructions
contained therein are not being adhered to by some of the officers.
2.
The instructions issued in the reference cited are therefore, reiterated for
compliance by all Heads of Departments in future. A copy of the D.O. Letter
first cited is also sent herewith for taking necessary action.
