The Chief Secretary of the State Government of Tamil Nadu has informed that henceforth the duties being carried out by the state government employees will be monitored stringently in order that the various tasks on hand are really expedited and the files on the various issues do not remain unattended remaining in the files only!
The Chief Secretary has further ordered that the attendance records must be brought to him as a monitoring aspect.
A circular sent by the Chief Secretary of the Tamil Nadu State Government on the above decision to the Additional Chief Secretaries, Chief Secretaries, and Secretaries mentions:
All the State Government Offices in Tamil Nadu have been functioning at 50% strength from 15th May. The order for this has been released by the State Government Department of Revenue and Disaster Management.
It has been ordered that all officials under Group-A who head the various sections must attend duty daily. However, exemption duty has been granted at the same time to pregnant women or differently-abled employees that they need not attend duty.
With an effort to expedite the various issues, stagnant files on which these issues are recorded have to be taken out, required actions are taken to solve the concerned issues. As such, regularity in attendance is a must and the attendance record and register must be maintained properly.
So, all the secretaries of the different department must undertake the responsibility to compile the attendance records of all employees working under and must send the data to the Department of Employees and Administration Development.
The Department of Employees and Administration Development must review this stringently and then send the same as a report to me.
In case arrangements are required for the transportation of the employees, I request the concerned Secretaries to review and organize the same. The Secretaries may contact the Secretary of the Department of Transport in this regard.
The monitoring of the attendance register/record MUST BE TAKEN UP from Monday, 13th July (today).
The above stringent attendance monitoring system MUST also be followed in the other offices which may be under the control of the different secretaries.
