There shall be no group movements/congregations at Government offices across the State on the New Year’s Day (January 1, 2021), an official order of the General Administration & Public Grievance Department said on Wednesoday.
“Government issued advisories in order to adopt strict precautionary measures for prevention of spread of Covid-19 in the State. As a result, the situation has improved to a considerable degree which is required to be maintained in view of the renewed threat of infection through a mutant variety of the virus,” the order said. Keeping this in view, group movements/congregations on the New Year’s Day shall be scrupulously avoided in Government offices.
The employees are encouraged to use virtual means for conveying New Year greetings to colleagues and seniors in the office premises. Social distancing shall be maintained at all times, the order added.
