Minister for General Administration Rekha Sharma today said the government would take action against civil servants violating the Civil Service Act. Speaking at an interaction organised here today by Rafat Sanchar Club, she said provision of deputation was meant for sending civil servants to the places where they are needed. “But when they do not attend their offices, service delivery is affected,” she said. She said the problems within the trade unions will be sorted out after the election of trade unions. “Civil servants’ increased involvement in politics is not good,” she added. Minister Sharma conceded that she was relenting on the pressure from various people regarding transfer, promotion and deputation of the civil servants and said such pressure was only normal when someone is in power.
