The State Government's decision to resume the biometric attendance system with effect from 1 November 2020, is a welcome initiative. Due to COVID 19, somewhere in March, the biometric attendance was stopped and recourse was taken to muster rolls. However, many government servants misused the absence of biometric attendance.
I have seen staff walking in their offices at 10:30 am in place of 9:30 am. This led to delay in work and the public visiting the offices had to suffer. It is hoped that with the biometric attendance back in place, the staff will be punctual.
