Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy today said disciplinary action would be taken against government staff coming late after he found that most were not present in their seats during his surprise visit to the Chief Secretariat here.
Office time begins at 8.45 am daily in Puducherry and Narayanasamy arrived at 9.30 am.
The chief minister visited each department accommodated in the multi-storied Chief Secretariat.
He spoke to the staff present and ascertained that around 70 per cent of the staff were yet to arrive. Narayanasamy also found that the bio-metric system of registering attendance was non-functional.
He told newsmen later that the staff were "lax and take their own time to arrive at the office and this late arrival dislocates the routine disposal of the files."
