After Delhi CM finds officials absent during surprise visit, Govt raises bar on punctuality; biometric attendance must for top officers too

What Happened

Delhi's government has directed all departments to install biometric attendance systems requiring employees, including Additional Chief Secretaries and Secretaries, to report by 9:30 am daily. The directive followed Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's surprise inspection at the State GST office, where senior officials were absent. Show-cause notices will be issued to absent staff. Daily attendance reports must be submitted to the Chief Secretary by noon. Action will be taken against those arriving late, not marking attendance, or leaving early.
