Sources told Early Times that despite instructions of the State Government to make Biometric attendance mandatory, the concern administration of above said hospitals has not been able to get the system installed.
Sources alleged that some of officials come and leave the office at their own wish.
"Biometric attendance in the government hospitals is need of the hour as it will keep a track on the attendance of officials as well as it will ensure punctuality, accountability and transparency, "Sources also said, adding that due to least interest the system was not installed in the hospitals.
Interestingly, officials of GMCH and its associated hospitals have not purchased required machines so far due to which they failed to install the system.
When contacted IGGDC Principal Dr Romesh Singh said that they have purchased machines of Biometric attendance system but due to Court case, the system was not installed.
But on February 25, 2016, the Jammu and Kashmir High Court stayed the state government's controversial order that had made use of Aadhaar card compulsory for availing any government benefit, including salary and pension.
