New 15‑Day Advance Leave Requirement
South and North Haryana Power Distribution Board (DHBVN) has announced that any employee who wishes to go on leave must now submit an application to the Cadre Controlling Authority at least 15 days before the intended start date.
Reason for the Stricter Rule
Board management observed that several workers leave the workplace without prior approval. In many instances, even the leave application was not filed within the required timeframe. The resulting surprise absences burdened other staff and disrupted public services.
Consequences of Non‑Compliance
Board spokesperson Sanjay Chugh clarified that any violation of the new procedure will lead to direct disciplinary measures under DHBVN rules. The policy aims to eliminate the practice of “coming and going as you wish” within the power corporation.
Implementation Across Departments
Following the approval of Managing Director Vikram Singh, orders were dispatched to all division heads, chief engineers, senior engineers, and executive engineers at headquarters. Officers are instructed to enforce the new guidelines strictly among their subordinates.
