Odisha Warns Officials Against Unauthorized Headquarters Visits
The Odisha government is telling its officials to stop visiting the main government buildings without permission.
They've noticed too many officers going to places like the Lok Seva Bhawan when they should be at work.
This means that the public isn't getting help with things like taxes and other services on time.
The government is making sure that all the officials are available at their assigned places of duty.
The district leaders have been asked to give warnings to those who are not following the rules.
If they continue to visit the headquarter without permission, they might face disciplinary action.
Odisha government addressed district collectors to issue warnings.
Warnings target Odisha Administrative Service (OAS) and Odisha Revenue Service (ORS) officers.
Officials are instructed to avoid unauthorized visits to Lok Seva Bhawan and other state offices.
The Revenue Department expressed concerns over officers' absence from their headquarters.
Disciplinary action will be taken against officers continuing these practices.
