Punjab Govt cracks down on latecomers: Transport Dept Employees face salary cuts
Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, April 11, 2025: In a firm move to enforce discipline and punctuality, the Punjab government has announced strict measures for employees of the Transport Department.
As per the latest orders, any employee reporting late to the office will now face not just warnings, but direct salary deductions.The new directive mandates that all Transport Department staff mark their attendance using the M Seva App, a digital attendance monitoring system.
Employees are required to register their attendance before 9:00 AM in the morning and after 5:00 PM in the evening. Failure to comply may lead to not only disciplinary action but also a deduction from their monthly pay.
This decision brings Transport Department employees under the same strict rules already implemented across other government departments. The official communication clearly states that punctuality is non-negotiable and will be strictly monitored through the app going forward.
