On the directives of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the Punjab government has issued detailed guidelines to all the administrative secretaries, head of departments, divisional commissioners and deputy commissioners to ensure punctuality of all employees/officers for the convenience of general public coming from far flung areas to these offices.
Likewise, fixed timings should be prescribed in the public dealing offices to meet the general public besides ensuring good behavior, extending basic courtesies and properly guiding them. It has also been brought into notice that in some offices there is a complete ban for general public to bring their mobile phones, thus causing lot of harassment to them. In view of this, now there would not be a complete ban on bringing mobile phones rather partial ban could be imposed in this regard due to certain security reasons in those offices, where it is mandatory.
