An office memorandum issued by the State Government further urged the Administrative Secretaries and DCs/HODs to draft a weekly roster of duty for all staff, requiring them to attend office on alternate weeks.
Further, the Government suggested the formation of three groups-9 am to 4.30 pm; 9.30 am to 5 pm and 10 am to 5.30 pm for attending office.
Continuing that officials who are working from home should be available on the telephone and other electronic means of communication at all times and attend office if called for any exigency, it informed that all officials residing in containment zones should be exempted from attending offices till the containment zone is de-notified.
