This timing will be applicable until 15 July, 2023. He said the new timings will be implemented uniformly for all offices, including field offices, Civil Secretariat, and other head offices.
“The state government appeals to the public to take note of the new timings and plan to visit the offices accordingly,” the spokesperson said.
