The Kerala High Court Registrar General has recently issued an Official Memorandum banning mobile phone use during office hours. Senior officers provided with mobile phones and chauffeurs are exempted from this direction.
The notification said that the action was taken after it came to the notice that many staff were playing online games, watching social media content during work hours and thereby the day-to-day office work is being hampered.
The notification explicitly stated that the staff shall use mobile phone during office hours only for official purpose. It has banned use of mobile for online gaming, watching social media content, movie, online trading etc. Apart from this, the staff is banned from playing online games during the lunch recess also.
Direction has been given to the controlling officers to monitor and restrict the staff in this regard.
