The cabinet department has once again instructed the field level government officials to be in the office in the morning. They have been asked to stay in the office from 9 am to 9.40 am except in case of emergency.

In an order a few days ago from the Cabinet Division, all the District Administrators and Upazila Executive Officers have been informed about this instruction. Earlier in 2021 and 2019 similar directives were issued by the Cabinet Department.

According to the new order, field level government officials were instructed to remain in office from 9 am to 9.40 am except in emergency situations. The activities of the field offices are regularly supervised by the Cabinet Division. Recently, many officials are not available in the office on time to communicate with the field level officials. Due to this, it becomes impossible to establish the necessary connection between the public and the officials of other organizations. As common citizens are affected by it, the speed of government work also slows down.

For this, in order to increase the mobility and coordination in government activities and the benefits of the citizens receiving the services, the field level officers must come to the office at 9 am and stay in the office till 9:40 am to manage the office activities.
