Yogi for common recruitment agency, better work culture
Reviewing Unlock-4, the chief minister said that all possible and prescribed steps and caution should be exercised to break the Covid-19 infection chain.
LUCKNOW: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said the state government, like the Centre, should have a common agency to conduct all its recruitment exams for its departments and enterprises.
He was speaking at the Covid-19 and Unlock-4 review meeting at his secretariat, Lok Bhavan, here.
Yogi called for improving the work culture in government departments, adding that all offices should be linked to the e-office system.
“No files should be pending in any office for more than seven days and for more than three days at any cell/window. Fix accountability for any delay beyond the prescribed time limit. Also ensure that employees reach office on time and their attendance is regular. Senior officers should do surprise inspections and reviews for this,” the chief minister said.
Talking about Covid-19, chief minister said that all possible and prescribed steps and caution should be exercised to break the Covid-19 infection chain.
“Step up and further consolidate the system of surveillance, door-to-door surveys and testing. The success of the war against Covid would be directly proportional to the consolidation of these elements,” he said.
He said the state government was committed to providing quality medical services to the people and asked the officers concerned to take all possible measures to protect the population from Covid-19.
He said that the instructions that were issued at the video conference on Wednesday for containment of Covid-19 in Lucknow and Kanpur City must be followed by the respective districts’ administration strictly. Accountability should be fixed if there was any laxity in following those instructions.
He also asked for increasing testing in Kanpur City and Gorakhpur.
Talking about inter-state transportation facility for people, Yogi said that the to- andfro movement should now be made smoother and buses should be operated on all listed routes.
