RAJOURI: Deputy Commissioner Rajouri, Abhishek Sharma today conducted a series of surprise inspections across various government offices to assess functioning, service delivery and staff attendance.

During a surprise inspection at the Office of the Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Sunderbani, the Deputy Commissioner found four employees absent from duty without authorization. Strict directions were issued to seek an immediate explanation from the absentee officials and the controlling officer was instructed to initiate action as per rules.

The DC also inspected the Block Development Office (BDO) Siot, where he reviewed the attendance register, ongoing works and public service delivery mechanisms. Later, during an inspection at Lamberi, eight employees were found absent. Taking serious note of the absenteeism, the Deputy Commissioner ordered deduction of one-day salary from all such employees and reiterated that negligence of duty, particularly in public-facing departments, would not be tolerated.

Reiterating the commitment of the district administration towards efficient governance, the Deputy Commissioner instructed all officers to maintain regular attendance, ensure timely delivery of public services and uphold the highest standards of accountability.

The Deputy Commissioner also stated that such inspections will continue in the coming days to ensure effective implementation of government schemes and responsive administration at all levels.
