The district magistrate of Bageshwar, Uttarakhand has issued orders prohibiting all employees from wearing jeans and t-shirts during office hours and meeting higher-level officials. He said that if there is a failure in adhering to the dress code, necessary action will be taken against the employee.
In a tweet, ANI reported that the DM had issued these orders after finding employees “inappropriately dressed” during office hours and meeting higher-level officials.
"It is often coming to the notice that the district-level officers and employees are always participating in meetings, wearing jeans and T-shirts in front of their higher officials, without following the dress code. Being a government employee is not graceful," said the DM.
He added that such practices tarnished the image of the office management.
