The Secretary,
Personnel,
Department of
personnel and Training,
Government of India,
North Block, New
Delhi. 110 001
Sub: Attending office in places where lock
down is declared due to Covid-19 pandemic.
Sir,
We
refer to the various instructions issued by the Government regarding
the need to be cautious over the spread of Covid19 as
also over the necessity over providing governmental service to the public at
large. The latest instructions in the matter is to emphasize
the requirement maintain skeleton services by all the Central
Government offices, irrespective whether they are declared as emergency
services or not. After the issuance of the said instructions,
we have been informed by many of our affiliates that some of the
Heads of offices are insisting upon the presence of staff without providing the
requisite transport facilities. As you are aware, all the states on
the advice of the Central Government has withdrawn the public transport
facility and prohibit people using their own vehicles for commuting purpose. In
fact the people are advised to stay back in their homes for combating the
spread of the pandemic. The State Police authorities refuse to issue
passes to enable the employees to go over to their offices. In the
circumstances, we suggest that instruction may be issued to all the heads of
offices to the effect that:
(a) Only employees who stay nearby the offices may be
deployed for duty;
(b) Those who are deployed to duty are entire provided by the
necessary passes issued by the State Police authorities to use their own
vehicles or the concerned department may be asked to ensure that dedicated
transport facility is provided to such staff.
(c) The requisite steps are taken to ensure that the
offices and vehicles are properly quarantined.
Thanking you,
Yours Sincerely,
(R.N. Parashar)
Secretary General
