Karnataka govternment revises ‘decent dress code’ order

In its original order,the Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms (DPAR) had illustrated pant and shirt/pyjama/kurta for men and saree or chudidar for women.

The revised order issued yesterday said it had been noticed that employees of the state secretariat,specially junior staffers,were coming to office wearing attire that does not adhere to the dignity of the secretariat.

Omitting reference to any specific attire,it merely said it was the government’s wish that the employees come to work wearing decent dresses that do not come in the way of the government’s dignity and decorum.
