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

consideration of the Central Government. The media news regarding the extension
of working hours and abolition of holiday on Saturday for Central Government
