After a brief period, the latecomers were warned and then allowed inside. However, Dr. Sahu made it clear that from tomorrow, anyone arriving late will face strict disciplinary action.
University’s History of Strict Measures
This is not the first time the university has taken action against rule violations. Previously, several non-teaching staff and even faculty members faced disciplinary measures for misconduct and disrupting order.
For a long time, some employees were misusing the administration’s silence, leading to undisciplined behavior and irregular duty hours. This sudden move is an attempt to restore discipline.
Public Reaction
Many people have praised the university’s decision, calling it a necessary step to ensure punctuality and accountability. Moving forward, employees are expected to adhere strictly to official work timings to avoid further action.
