The use of fingerprint machines for all Staff Grade Officers or executive staff has been made mandatory, beginning August 01, 2023.

Accordingly, all Staff Grade Officers should mark their daily arrival and departure with effect from August 01.

This has been conveyed via an internal memo.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Secretary to the Ministry of Health Janaka Sri Chandragupta said, "The new move will replace the attendance book and it will be applicable to all Staff Grade Officers including medical administrators working at the Health Ministry,"

"The new measure also aims to accurately determine which officers are eligible for extra duty and overtime payments. Accordingly, this ensures the approved extra duty allowances, as discussed during a Cabinet meeting," he underscored.

Why only to executive staff? Isn't this an infringement of a person's right? Challenge this in a court of law.

In some stations only one or two doctors are working, even for a hypothesis, if they work 7.5 nights, that would reach ot limit. If two of them do. 15 days are covered. For rest of the days, is government going to pay the double ot or no night duty in that unit. Currently healthcare workers are underpaid. Especially in this prevailing situation.

What about all our politicians who steal the public fund and who robbed the nations with all corruption and fraud. How many time we may need those finger pints to see how much they have done . Why do they need the fingerprint of these honest and hardworking professionals : equality and justice must be maintained equally to all
