Government officials grumble as Swachh Bharat campaign robs them of their holiday


NEW DELHI: As the Swachh Bharat campaign to be launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
draws out babus en masse to work on October 2, murmurs of discontent can be  heard about their having to forego "not only a gazetted holiday but also a   vacation coinciding with the long weekend".

However, coming as somewhat  of a compensation for some of the harried government employee, was the  announcement on Tuesday that all offices in and around India Gate will be closed  post lunch on Wednesday. So, government personnel working in these offices have  been asked to report at 10.30 am rather than 9 am as per an earlier order. 

The "wasting" of a national holiday predictably has become the  favourite topic of discussion in most government offices these days.
