The Lotha Youth Hoho (LYH) on August 10 conducted visits to various government offices in Wokha and Bhandari as a follow-up to its recent directive calling for strict adherence to prescribed office timings and addressing complaints of irregular attendance among government employees.
In Wokha, the Hoho visited the offices of the Deputy Commissioner, PWD (R&B), PWD (Mechanical), PWD (Housing), Legal & Metrology, Statistical, Treasury, Art & Culture, Labour, District Information & Public Relations (DIPR), DSCO, District Youth Resource and Food & Civil Supplies departments.
During the inspection in Bhandari, the Bhandari PWD (R&B) office was found completely closed, while only three Grade-IV employees were present at the Soil Department office. The employees informed the Hoho that two other employees were on leave. The Rural Development Block Office, Bhandari, was also found closed during the visit.
The Hoho also interacted with officials and apprised them of complaints regarding late arrival and early departure of employees. It highlighted that irregular attendance causes inconvenience to members of the public, particularly those travelling from distant areas to access government services.
The Hoho informed the departments that follow-up visits would be conducted to monitor adherence to prescribed office timings and document instances of irregular attendance. Such instances, it stated, may be brought to the notice of the competent authorities.
