Attendance in Ludhiana MC offices now mandatory through facial recognition

Depending on the time of marking attendance, the machines will automatically mark half day or full day leave of the employees, if they mark their attendance in the facial recognition machines with a delay. This will also put an end to the chances of proxy attendance, as the attendance of the employees will only be marked through facial recognition.
