U.O.Note No. 39/Ser.C./ 85-1, Dated 16th January, 1985
It has been brought to the notice of this Department that due to non-availability of staff posted on turn duties during holidays the Officers are often experiencing inconvenience to elicit information on certain urgent matters when concerned departments of the Secretariat are contacted.
2. Attention of the Departments of Secretariat in this connection is invited to paragraphs 553 and 554 of the Secretariat Office Manual according to which arrangements will have to be made for the dispatch of urgent business on every public holiday and some staff should be posted to attend to the work during holidays.
3.
In view of the above all Departments of Secretariat are requested to ensure
that staff should invariably be posted on turn duty during holidays with
instructions that they should be present promptly at their duty points and
attend to the emergent business.
