UP officers warned : Chief Minister may call you on landline any time
According to an NDTV report, the officers on Friday were put on notice with the warning that the Chief Minister could call them "at any time" on landlines at their offices between 9 am and 6 pm.
Unless they are able to justify not being able to take his call because they were at work elsewhere, penalties could follow, the report said.
The alert was issued on behalf of the Chief Minister by Shrikant Sharma, a senior minister.
The 44-year-old saffron-clad Chief Minister, who after taking over, spoke about a cleaner and better administration, has launched surprise attendance checks at ministries and cancelled 15 holidays.
