Ahmedabad Commissioner Cracks Down Employees

According to the commissioner, despite the completion of their approved leave, some employees have not resumed their work, and senior officials in the departments have not taken appropriate action. This has led to ongoing disputes between the corporation and the employees.

To address this issue, the commissioner has instructed all Deputy Municipal Commissioners, Assistant Municipal Commissioners, and senior officials to urgently prepare a list of employees and officials who have been on foreign leave for the past three months and have not reported back to work.

The commissioner has warned that strict action will be taken against all such employees and officials as per the guidelines of the Industrial Relations Department. This move is aimed at ensuring discipline and accountability among the municipal workforce.

Before this, the Gujarat government had previously terminated 134 teachers for absenteeism, and  had initiated police action against three of them.

Following complaints of numerous teacher absences in government schools across the state, the education department had directed all DEOs (District Education Officers) and DPOs (District Primary Education Officers) to act on it following that the government took disciplinary action against the teachers, resulting in their termination. Among the terminated teachers, police cases have been filed against one teacher each from Rajkot, Anand, and Kutch.
