All statements are only an eye wash. How can crew opt of duty when they have worked on Sunday. Government staff who have abstained from duty should be marked leave and leave adjusted from their credit. Thinking Monday to be a Bundh, most of the Government employees would have programmed for a picnic/outing which the SC ruling has spoiled. Most of the people aspire to join government service only to enjoy their life not knowing that, the salary paid to them is from public money. It is high time a stricture is passed on all government departments for better efficiency and public friendly and timely disposal of files.
