Goa: CM states to take strict action against disobedient employees

Goa: Pramod Sawant, the chief minister of Goa, has stated that employees of the state government who are disobedient and arrive late for work will face harsh punishment. When speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Sawant added that the government employees association would be consulted before any legal action was taken against these employees. The state General Administration (GAD) department September 20 issued a memorandum, saying they had received requests from various departments in the secretariat “to replace some staff due to their lethargic approach towards office duties, disobedience, frequent late coming and for their behaviour of absolutely no interest to learn.” Following such requests, the GAD transferred such staffers to departments with a lighter workload, but their performance there was also not found to be satisfactory, the memorandum said. Now, cognisance of the same has been taken by the GAD secretary and the appointing authority has decided to “initiate strict action against employees exhibiting poor or no performance and for dereliction of duties”. The employees association had on Sunday appealed to the chief minister not to take any action against government staffers without taking it into confidence.
