After asking employees and officials not to wear T-shirts and jeans at the office, the Maharashtra government on Tuesday amended the order by dropping jeans from the prohibition.

The government officials and employees are now allowed to wear jeans in the office. However, they must not wear T-shirts while on official duty, the new order said.

The decision has been taken by the General Administration Department of the state. As the prohibition of wearing jeans in the office had created outrage among the employees, especially among the young officers. Therefore, they demanded to amend the dress code.

According to the order issued on December 8, the government had prohibited wearing jeans and T-shirts, a fiat that had met with opposition from employees.

Citizens expect good manners and personality from all government officials and employees. In such a situation, if the dress of the officers and employees is indecent, vulgar and unclean, then it also has an indirect effect on the work. In view of all these, guidelines were issued on December 8 on the day-to-day dress code of officials and employees of the ministry and all state government offices.

Here are the guidelines:

1) Don't wear dark coloured clothes with colourful carvings/pictures. Also, all officers and employees should not wear T-shirts in the office.

2) In order to promote khadi, all officers and employees should wear khadi once a week (Friday).

3) Women officers and employees should wear sandals and boots in the office. Also, male officers and employees should wear only shoes.

4) Wearing slippers is strictly prohibited in the office.

5) The dress worn by all officers and employees should be neat. Women employees should wear sari, salwar/churidar kurta, trouser pants and kurta or shirt on it as well as dupatta if required. Male employees should dress in shirts, pants/trousers.

6) Care should be taken that the dress worn should be clean and tidy.
