NEW DELHI: East Delhi Municipal Corporation (

EDMC

) has issued an order to act against

employees

who have been absent for a long time.

The departments have been asked to issue notices to the employees to join within

seven days

and take disciplinary

action

if they fail to do so. The commissioner, in the order, said the progress of services/work was getting hindered by absenteeism.

“It has been observed that several employees are absent without notice from their duties for a long time or have left their posts in EDMC. Due to such long absenteeism, the recruitment processes, promotional avenues, overall efficiency of the civic body and commitment to provide hassle-free civic services are adversely affected. In the existing circumstances, it becomes pertinent that action should be taken against such employees,” said EDMC commissioner Vikas Anand.

“All the heads of department and DDOs have been asked to immediately communicate with the absent employees in their department and ask them to join within seven days, and if they fail to do so, disciplinary action should be initiated. A proposal to initiate disciplinary action against such employees should be placed before the EDMC commissioner,” stated in the order issued by the civic body.
