Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir government today warned its employees that their salaries will be withheld if they remain "unauthorisedly" absent from their duty due to the ongoing unrest in the valley.
"From the month of September, salary of the employees who remain on unauthorised absence from duty shall not be released and action under rules be initiated against them," an official spokesman said after a meeting chaired by Chief Secretary BR Sharma in Srinagar to review the attendance of employees in the government offices.
Expressing concern about the "irregular attendance" of a section of employees, the chief secretary directed the administrative secretaries and heads of departments to ensure attendance of all the employees working in their respective departments and subordinate offices without fail.
Mr Sharma, however, said in view of the ensuing festival of Eid-ul-Zuha, the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti while taking a compassionate view in the matter directed the release of salary of all the government employees for the month of August.
The chief secretary also expressed displeasure about the non-installation and implementation of Aadhar Enabled iometric Attendance System (AEBAS) in many offices across the state and directed that the AEBAS be installed forthwith and implemented in all the government offices.
