अत्तिशय धक्कादायक !

नोकरी करतात की चेष्टा ?

का पगार द्यायचे असल्या लोकांना ?

मंत्रालयात फक्त २०% सरकारी नोकर कामावर येतात?

विक्रांत जोशी @joshivikrant75 या पत्रकाराने हा अभ्यास केला आणि ही धक्कादायक माहिती मिळाली …..

२० जूनला १९४५७ पैकी फक्त ३७९५ ऑफिस मधे होते? म्हणजे फक्त २०%?

मंत्रालयाची वेळ ही सकाळी ९.४५ वाजता आहे. जे २० % कामावर येतात, त्यापैकी फक्त ५.९% ९.४५ च्या आधी येतात. १२.३% हे ९.४५ ते १०.४५ ला येतात. बाकीचे २.३% हे १०.४५ नंतर येतात?

काय तर म्हणे Face scanning machines लावले.
६० मशीन लावले त्यापैकी फक्त १६ चालू? आणि ४४ बंद?

काय आहे हे?

विक्रांत ने सगळे पुरावे देखील लावले आहेत.

Mantralaya Attendance System…Is it a Joke ?

Don't miss to read the ending of this blog...

Last week when I wrote how the entry system installed ( face recognition machines) in Mantralaya and other government offices is only for COMMON people and how VVIP and dalal's/agents yet make it to Mantralaya entering via private or government cars, I am told the right authorities has taken very serious cognisance of that blog of mine. Now I don't know as I haven't confirmed this yet, but I am told that the whole Mantrlaya entry face scanning technology and the entire system tender of close to Rs. 100 crores is bagged by a so-called nephew of an IAS officer of the state. Nephews were known to create havoc in the lives of politicians but now the nephews have started troubling their bureaucratic uncles and aunties too... Forget this, the information that I am going to give you now, will surely shock you beyond your imagination.

Ok, when I decided to write on this , I casually wanted to dig more as to where the common public go in Mantralaya, and more than that, when such a huge crowd comes in Mantralaya, are they even attended by the officers? You will be shocked as in my hands lay a report of LAST FRIDAY i.e. reports of 20th June 2025 of attendance of Mantralaya staff...

As per the biometric attendance system of Government of Maharashtra on Friday i.e. 20th June 2025, in Mantralaya out of total 19,457 total registered users, only 3795 were in office that day...that means only 20.15% of government officers that starts from Chief Secretary to the last peon. NOW WORST information..the company who has supplied Government of Maharashtra these face scanning machines, out of Total 60 machines all across Mantralaya including gates, only 16 machines were ACTIVE and 44 were INACTIVE....From 15.06.2025 to 20.6.2025 that is in the entire week only 20% of employees attended government offices including Mantralaya. For your record before publishing this blog at pm today also I checked the system: only 3825 are in office and absentee landlords remain at 79.4% and only 1157 came before am. Yes, today is Monday. 23.6.2025...

Now those who don't know the time to reach Mantralaya for every officer, be it the Chief Secretary herself to the last peon of Mantralaya, is designated to am. Do you know out of 20% employees that come to Mantralaya only 5.9% come before am, 12.3% come between am to am and the rest 2.3% come after ...

Now, for you to understand where the 60 machines of face scanning are installed these include, gates at Aarsha gate, Barracks, Garden gate, GT Hospital, Jijamata gate, Main Gate, NA B, Nirmal Bhavan, PWD at Mazaban road, Sachivalaya Gymkhana, Sahyadri Guest House, Varsha Bungalow, and the World Trade Centre.

I have department wise data also, in which only a small example I shall give you...In the Co-op Department there was 60% attendance last Friday, in the Industries Department it was 60%, School Education 60% and Water resources had 60% of employees coming in. Rest all departments have attendance below 50%.

Now my question to Chief Secretary Sujata Saunik is--If there are 40% of employees coming into Government offices why are we burdening the state and paying salaries to these third grade officers? And for the unknown, even a GRAM SEVAK who needs a salary per month working for Maharashtra government has to do biometric attendance. It is compulsory...Now the data that I have put here is absolutely from Biometric Attendance System Maharashtra website...And this is the data of only Friday...If we have only 20% of employees marked as present, I request the CS madam and her team to take an average of the last 3 months. Departments and Babu's including IAS officers who are not coming to Mantralaya regularly need to stop their salaries, and this includes everyone. If a bureaucrat says I was at Sahyadri, there is a face recognition machine set there too...So no reasons for Maharashtra to run on 20% of staff...Third most important thing: How do you mark the attendance if the machines are not in working condition?

Next most important noting Chief Secretary and rest of ACS, PS and Secretaries, do you all or your team members even check your websites or no? If I want to type RTI, and if I go deeper in the system, the name of Chief Secretary is still Swadhin Khastriya...What a mess, Babus? Kshatriya retired in 2016 as the Chief Secretary. Today is 2025... Now if you think there is someone who is playing mischief to make these machines dysfunctional or delink them from the main system to hide hanky panky, which even I feel so, get to the bottom of it before you retire on the 30th of this month, a small expectation Madam CHief Secretary...

This is where CM Devendra Fadnavis lacks support. He cannot rely on data...if it is true it is shocking, and if someone is up to mischief, there is a hole in the boat.

Last but not the least...

Last week on a Monday/Tuesday after office hours around 7/730 in the evening, a car entered Mantralaya...It rallied around MAntralaya for good 5 to 10 minutes and when security realised that something is a miss, that car drove outside Mantralaya...Panic set in and the security ran towards the control room to check the CCTVs as to who was in the car and why was it driving inside Mantralaya...To everyone's shock, most of the CCTV in Mantralaya compound were NOT WORKING...next day it was hushed and the CCTV's were made to start, but after a major security lapse incident. Not to worry or ponder for the CM, because the car was allowed only after seeing entry pass...So it must be someone known only..nothing to worry...But the times are not good these days. Let's be more careful... No one gave me evidence of the same incident, who'll give na ? But this thing surely happened at mantralaya...
