In the revised order, Maharashtra Government on Tuesday has imposed a ban on the wearing of T-shirts by the employees in the state secretariat and government offices. Employees can wear jeans at the workplace.
Earlier, the state government has issued an order asking its employees and contractual staff to come to offices wearing appropriate formal clothes.
The Maharashtra Government order read, “Maharashtra Government asks State Government employees and contractual staff to not wear jeans or t-shirt in the Secretariat and Government offices; instructs them to wear appropriate formal clothes, to appear professional.”
All government employees must wear khadi clothes at least on Fridays to encourage the use of handspun, a circular issued on 8 December read.
“It has been observed that several officials/staff (mainly contractual staff and advisers engaged for government work) do not wear attire suitable for government employees. Hence, the image of government staff gets sullied among people,” it added.
Women employees can wear sarees, salwar or churidars kurtas, trouser pants and shirts along with dupattas if necessary, the order said.
Men can wear shirts and “pants or trouser pants”.
“Clothes with deep colours and strange embroidery patterns or pictures should not be worn. Besides, employees and staff should not wear jeans and t-shirts in offices,” the circular said.
Also, women employees should wear chappals, sandals or shoes and men employees should wear shoes or sandals, it said.
