Principal secretary of IT department Jayesh Ranjan said that employees who have expressed reservations about resuming work from offices are “extremely insensitive” to the misery of others. Reacting to news reports which quoted him stating that the State government wants people to return to workplaces, IT employees had expressed a range of concerns such as fear of contracting COVID-19 and difficulty of managing responsibility of their children as schools stay shut. Some employees have even shifted to their native place and are working from there. Speaking on the sidelines of inauguration of a 50-bed ICU ward at Osmania General Hospital on Sunday, Mr Ranjan said that livelihoods of several sections of society depend on reopening of offices. “If they refuse to come to office when everyone else is going to office and when everything is safe, I will say they are extremely insensitive to the misery of others. They are only looking after their health, their children’s health, and the fact that they can relax in their homes. Livelihoods of taxi drivers, catering and security guys, and all other service providers are dependent on functioning of offices,” he said, mincing no words.More Related News
