i) In case any employee experiences any symptoms (like cold, cough, fever, respiratory ailments etc.), he/she will immediately inform the same to his reporting officer, who in turn will promptly report it to administration.

Before implementing the roster system, the officer-in charge of various section and sub offices will intimate to the PCDA (CC), the detail of their rosters. The roster system shall be effective till 30/04/2021.

6) It is thus the professional and moral responsibility of all of us to follow the above instructions in letter and spirit, without exception and ensure the safety at work place and at home. It is also needed to underscore that a very judicious balance is to be made between the safety of all concern and overall performance, accountability and discipline within the organisation.
