03 Jan, 2022
Heavy traffic was reported in and around Colombo today as all public servants returned to work.
Government schools are reopened today adding to the rush-hour traffic.
All State sector employees have been recalled to duty with effect from today, 3rd January, 2022.
The Ministry of Public Services, Provincial Councils, and Local Government had instructed public servants to report to work from today.
State institutions had earlier been instructed to limit the number of staff reporting to work while others work from home.
However, the Government had last week decided to make it mandatory for all public servants to return to work from today.
The move comes as the Government looks to improve productivity in its bid to revive the economy.
The economy took a serious hit as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.?(Colombo Gazette)
