Shirker employees enjoy heydays

Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 19: The Biometric attendance installed in government offices amid much fanfare by previous state governor N N Vohra is nowhere existent today with shirkers enjoying heydays and common people bearing the brunt.
Official sources said the biometric attendance system in the government offices has been shelved by the authorities as no one cares whether the government employees report to their duties on time or not.
The bio metric machines in several government departments, it has been learnt have gone dysfunctional and the snags are not set right purposely, they said.
Also at the government level, no-one is seeking the details of the biometrics attendance from the departments, prompting employees to switch to traditional mode of attendance and fudge the duty hours, they added.
The system had had kept the officials across the state on toes during NN Vohra's regime.
All the government offices had been directed by the general government order that the installation of the biometric attendance systems should be ensured.
The system as per the senior officials had instilled new wave in the work culture of the state and that the government employees no longer were able to fudge the duty hours.
The survey done at that time had revealed that the revolution in the work culture was witnessed by the imposition of the governor's rule in the state and that the entire administration was on the tenterhooks to mitigate peoples' sufferings at large. The Survey had shown that the average 'in-time' of the staff used to be recorded at 9.28 am and the average 'out-time' of the staff recorded at 5.46 pm.
Survey's findings had revealed further that the employees no longer were being found fudging their duty hours and that the offices that used to witness attendance of the employees not before 11 a.m begun witnessing employees discharging their respective duties at 10.15 a.m on an average.
Survey conducted in the civil secretariat Jammu revealed that 31.6 percent of the staff showed up before the office start time of 9 am while, 38.8 per cent of the registered employees marked their presence between 9 am and 10 am.
The survey has revealed further that the timely resolution of peoples' problems was also witnessing the surge and that the files were least being kept in limbo by the helmsmen in the state
However, at present there are different scenes being witnessed in the state with no one caring over the mounting public complaints and how no serious effort is taking to address what many are terming the severe governance deficit. "It is worrisome that why the governor isn't taking into account the peoples' woes and why the biometric attendance has turned into a flop show," says an official and added that Vohra's important decision of biometric attendance is now a thing of past.
