Taken by surprise
On Monday, Information and Broadcasting (I&B) Minister M Venkaiah Naidu, along with Minister of State Rajyavardhan Rathore, made an unannounced tour of the ministry offices at Shastri Bhawan at 9.30 am. Not unexpectedly, many officials were missing from their work stations. Later the minister tweeted: "Explanation sought from those who were not present at the time of inspection." He also said: "Directed concerned Joint Secretaries to review issues related to punctuality and cleanliness in the offices on daily basis." Naidu also emphasised that open cables should be avoided as they were a fire hazard. In 2014, a fire had destroyed several files in an I&B ministry office in Shastri Bhawan.
