In Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, the Municipal Corporation is considering a shift in office hours to boost property tax collection. Zone and ward offices may close on Wednesdays and operate on Sundays, according to Municipal Commissioner Sanskriti Jain. The proposal aims to cater to residents who find it difficult to visit BMC offices on weekdays.
While Sunday tax collection is already high, some revenue department employees have longed for a weekly holiday on Sundays. Currently, some officials support the idea, while others oppose it. If implemented, Wednesdays would become the weekly holiday for Revenue Department personnel, and offices would remain open on Sundays for tax-related services.
Attendance will be monitored through Aadhaar-based sign-ins and location tracking. The commissioner has issued fresh instructions for ward office employees, and additional municipal commissioner Anju Arun Kumar supports the move to improve administrative efficiency.
