Babus directed to attend Independence Day Parade - Invitation is direction
THE Cabinet Secretary has written to all Secretaries to the Government of India to the effect that attendance in the Independence Day Ceremony, if invited, is not optional.
In his D.O. Letter, the Cabinet Secretary says,
The Independence Day Flag Hoisting Ceremony at the Red Fort is an important historic and national function held every year on the 15th of August. Considering the importance of this national function at which the Prime Minister addresses the nation, it is expected that all the officers who are invited attend the ceremony.
It has been observed that there is, at times, low attendance of the official invitees to the ceremony. This is unacceptable considering that the occasion is of great national importance. This is clearly to remind the officers that it is their duty to attend the ceremony.
The cab Sec cautions the babus that a serious view would be taken of their absence on this occasion.
Cabinet Secretary's D.O.No. 281/29/2/2015-T5., Dated July 20, 2015.
Until Tomorrow with more DDT
Have a nice day.
