To ensure punctuality among the municipal corporation (MC) staff, zonal commissioner Jasdev Sekhon conducted a surprise inspection at MC’s Zone A office on Friday morning.
Sekhon initiated the surprise checking at around 9:10 am. He stated that show-cause notices will be issued to the few employees who were absent from their seats.
He stated that inspections will be conducted frequently, and strict action will be taken against those who fail to reach the office at 9 am. Further, he also directed the staff to schedule official meetings after noon to ensure proper public dealing.
Sekhon said a decision has also been taken to shift the pension branch from the third floor to the ground floor as pensioners face trouble climbing the stairs.
On Thursday, former cabinet minister MLA Bharat Bhushan Ashu had also conducted a surprise inspection at the MC Zone D office. Earlier, newly appointed chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi had directed the government staff to reach their respective offices on time.
