Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, Sept 1: While reviewing the attendance of employees in Government offices, Chief Secretary, B R Sharma today expressed displeasure about the non-installation and implementation of Aadhar Enabled Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS) in many offices across the State.
He directed that the AEBAS be installed forthwith and implemented in all the Government offices. Expressing concern about the irregular attendance of a section of employees, he directed the Administrative Secretaries and Heads of Departments to ensure attendance of all the employees working in their respective departments and subordinate offices without fail.
He directed that from the month of September 2016, salary of the employees who remain on unauthorized absence from duty, shall not be released and action under rules will be initiated against them.
The Chief Secretary said that, however, in view of the ensuing festival of Eid-ul-Zuha, Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti while taking a compassionate view in the matter has directed the release of salary of all the Government employees for the month of August.
