DoPT denies Media News about extension of working hours of Central Government employees
The
attention is drawn to the media news about extension of working hours
of Central Government employees by the Department of Personnel and
Training (DoPT), Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions,
Government of India. It has been stated in the news item that Central
Government employees’ working hours will be changed from 09.00 AM to
07.00 PM. It was also stated that the holiday of Saturday will also be
done away with for the Central Government employees.
In
this regard, the DoPT clarifies that there is no such proposal under
consideration of the Central Government. The media news regarding the
extension of working hours and abolition of holiday on Saturday for
Central Government employees is false and baseless. There is no oral or
unwritten order issued in this regard.
