Kathmandu, March 19
Minister for Federal Affairs and General Administration Lalbabu Pandit says he will fire civil servants who do not go to their designated work stations.
Pandit also said that his ministry will keep a record of bureaucrats who do not show up at their respective offices. The minister, who in past barred civil servants from seeking permanent residency abroad, warned that civil servants who do not report to work will have their pay and perks discontinued.
The minister, who assumed his office a few days ago, vowed to adopt a tough stance against trade unions. He added that his ministry will not bow down to pressure from unions when it comes to transfer and promotion of employees.
