Tue Dec 17 09:37:11 UTC 2024: ## Noida CEO Makes Employees Stand for 20 Minutes as Punishment for Delays
**NOIDA, INDIA –** Sixteen Noida residential plot department employees received an unusual form of disciplinary action this week: a 20-minute standing punishment. The incident, captured on CCTV and widely shared on social media, followed a reprimand from Noida CEO Dr. Lokesh M. Dr. M, a 2005-batch IAS officer, was angered by employees keeping residents waiting at counters.
The CEO, who regularly monitors the office’s 65 CCTV cameras, witnessed an elderly man repeatedly ignored at a counter. After intervening and instructing the employee to address the man promptly, Dr. M returned to find the situation unchanged. This prompted him to publicly admonish the entire residential department and order the 16 employees to stand and work for 20 minutes as a consequence of their slow service.
A video of the employees standing at their counters has since gone viral, with many social media users praising the CEO’s decisive action and calling for similar measures to improve efficiency in government offices. The incident highlights Dr. M’s commitment to ensuring prompt service for Noida residents, particularly the elderly.
