The Ministry of General Administration intensified the monitoring of the implementation of dress code for the civil servants posted inside the Singha Durbar, country’s main administrative hub.
The Ministry has deputed a monitoring team headed by under-secretary in all the three entrances to the Singha Durbar during the office arrival time in a bid to enforce the dress code.
Civil servants draw annually Rs 7,500 as dress (uniform) allowance from the government.
In a meeting of Good Governance and Monitoring Committee of the Legislature-Parliament today, Minister for General Administration, Rekha Sharma shared that most of civil servants (around 80 per cent) of Foreign Employment Department and Transport Management Office were in unofficial dress.
According to Ministry Secretary Tankamani Sharma, the lack of effective implementation of dress code has created a problem in identifying who are employees and who are middlemen in the offices that see huge flow of service recipients on a daily basis. The dress code for the civil servants be strongly implemented as it helps make them morally responsible for the duty and service recipients, he stressed.
During two days of monitoring, around 545 employees arriving in unofficial uniform were barred from entering the offices. RSS
