If they fail to reach on time, they will have to take half day CL. If they mark their attendance after 10:00 am, it would be marked absent.  A senior official of the hospital was not in his office when the Rogi Kalyan Samiti chairman reached the hospital.

Nirmal Maji told the millennium post, "We came to know that some people are coming late to the hospital. We found some people register biometric attendance after the scheduled time. All the staff members must enter by 9.30 am failing which action will be taken against them."
