“As far as the bio-metric finger scan readers are concerned, I would wait for the High Court to pronounce its judgment on the Public Interest Litigation. Only then, I will take a decision on the implementation of the bio-metric finger scan readers”, she added.
Kamat’s predecessor S R Kothwale had installed two bio-metric finger scan readers in the Civic body and later issued a circular to the employees to record their attendance from December 1, 2012, which was refused and objected by the civic employees.
