West Bengal CM announces 2 shifts works for government staff

KOLKATA: In order to facilitate easy daily commute amid coronavirus crisis, the West Bengal government on Wednesday announced two work shifts for its employees and also closure of schools in July as well.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that government staff will work in two shifts – from 9.30 am to 2.30 pm and 12 noon to 5.50 pm.

"The earlier timing was 10.30 am to 5.30 pm. But now, we have split it into two shifts for easy movement of all government employees. I understand that commuting by public transport is a big issue," she told a press conference at the state Secretariat Nabanno.

She said that unlike other states, her government was giving salaries to all its employees without deductions amid the Covid-19 situation. She said if any government employee gets late in reaching office by an hour no penalty would be levied for late attendance.

Banerjee said that all schools will also remain closed in July but the examinations will be conducted. Earlier, the state government had said that all schools would remain closed till June 30. (IANS)
