R b. Singh I am one with you.
Disgusting! Is this country being run on religious basis. I never seen such circular during ‘NAVRATA’. What is necessity to leave office early. They must be asked to apply for Half Day Leave. I don’t understand how such decisions are taken in govt departments. Why can’t such appeasement action be stopped altogether for all.
