The State government officially gives a two-day public holiday every year for all its employees working in different government departments on account of Ganesh Chaturthi.
Unfortunately, most of the government employees (right from higher officers, lower staff, to sweepers and peons) are seen annually bunking from work after the completion of the above-mentioned two-day official holiday period and casually staying back home for almost a whole week or so without even putting in their leave applications and by giving their own silly excuses/justifications, resulting in a total breakdown in the functioning of most government departments.
Our government is always heard giving big talks for everyone about the importance of work but is never seen taking any action against such type of government employees who are annually seen refusing to work during such major week-long festivals in the State. I think that the government should take a serious note of the above-mentioned fact.
