After a gap of three months, the Odisha government has asked all its offices to function with full strength.<\/p>\n
“All departments of the state government and sub-ordinate offices in the state shall function with full strength of employees until further orders,” the general administration & public grievance department said in an order issued yesterday.<\/p>\n
As most of the employees are now fully vaccinated, the state government has asked all of them to mandatorily attend the office regularly.<\/p>\n
Employees who are unable to get vaccinated for medical or some other compelling reason, may seek exemption from attending office from the head of office, which would be considered on a case-to-case basis, it said.<\/p>\n
Employees who are neither vaccinated nor exempted would not be permitted to attend office and their absence will be treated as wilful, warned the government.<\/p>\n
However, all the government offices will remain closed on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month. In view of the second wave of Covid-19, the offices remained closed on all Saturdays.<\/p>\n
All the offices have been asked to follow issued instructions and guidelines to prevent spread of Covid infection and detection of any Covid case.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, the state reported 1,129 fresh Covid cases and confirmed 69 deaths, taking the death toll to 6,102. The State now has 14,325 active cases.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, temples have been allowed to reopen for devotees in some districts including Puri, Sambalpur and Cuttack. However, the Sri Jagannath temple, Puri has not been reopened so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
