Soon after assuming office on March 19, UP CM Yogi Adityanath had directed Ministers and top officials to provide details of their income and assets within 15 days as part of his drive to root out corruption in government offices. However, a majority of the officials reportedly failed to do so by the deadline of April 7. But fortunately the Govt on 05 April extended the deadline up to 15 April.
Further, Yogi is said to have been tightening the screw over the rampant absenteeism in the Noida and Greater Noida Authority. The Noida Authority had on March 23 installed biometric machines to discourage employees from reaching office late.
The Noida Authority's offices are located in sectors 6, 5, 19 and 39. According to rules, the employees must reach office by 9:30 a.m. and not leave before 5 p.m. The two authorities work for five days a week.
Noida and Greater Noida Authority CEO Deepak Agarwal told media-persons that "during an inspection, I found that around 30% of the staff was absent. Whoever reaches office after 9:30 a.m. will be marked absent."
Earlier, every employee had to sign on an attendance sheet. However, many would sign the sheet in the month-end.
