PNS

Employees hired through outsourcing in municipalities, municipal councils and municipal corporations will be given honorarium through Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) in their bank accounts so that corruption can be curbed. Haryana Urban Local Bodies Minister Anil Vij said on Wednesday.

"The attendance of such employees will be based on the Aadhaar card so that the actual number of employees can also be ascertained," Vij said in a statement, adding that CLU facility in the state will be made available on the online portal and minimum two agencies will examine the construction works being carried out by the department. "If its report is found to be wrong, punitive action will be taken against the officials concerned and the contractors," he said.

The Urban Bodies Minister said that orders have been given to apply biometric attendance of all employees working in municipalities, municipal councils, and municipal corporations.

Vij also directed to set up a Movement Register for the employees so that the employees can leave the office during working hours. He said that he will soon review all these works by visiting various municipalities, municipal council and municipal corporation offices.
