CHANDIGARH:/Ferozepur Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh, on Saturday , scrapped orders of Fazilka DC, Manpreet Singh Chhatwal, imposing a dress code on employees.
As per orders, male employees would have been required, with effect from July 29, 2019, to abstain from wearing T-shirts and female employees would have been required to wear ‘dupattas’. Violation of the dress code would have invited disciplinary action as per the orders, which were reportedly issued on a written request by the employees’ union. The CM said imposition of a dress code in a government office did not appear to be feasible, adding that the state government did not have any dress code in place for its employees and hence, it was not reasonable to expect employees in one district office to follow any such code.
