The Goa government has issued a circular prohibiting birthday celebrations, farewell parties, gaming activities and other private events from being held in government offices during working hours. The directive emphasizes that office time and premises must be used strictly for official purposes.
The circular further states that any misuse of government space or time for non-official gatherings will be treated as a violation of conduct rules and may invite disciplinary action against those involved.
The move aims to ensure professionalism and maintain productivity across all departments. Government employees have been advised to adhere strictly to the new guidelines.
