Mayor Kulbhushan Goyal conducted a surprise check at Sectors 4 and 12-A branch offices of the Municipal Corporation (MC), Panchkula on Saturday, and found 74 employees absent.
During the checking he found 29 employees of the engineering wing out of 43 absent; in horticulture wing, 18 were absent out of 76; two out of 13 in taxation branch; two out of eight in the building branch; four out of 37 in the encroachment branch and a few more from some other branches.
He sought explanation from all the 74 employees found absent and gave orders to deduct their two-day salary.
