Tripura Secretariat introduced an Aadhaar-enabled biometric attendance system on Saturday to keep a close watch on employees so that they are in their respective offices in time.

Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb had introduced the new system and urged all government employees to complete all their tasks timely.

"The BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party)-IPFT (Indigenous People's Front of Tripura) alliance government seriously wants to deliver the best services to the people. For this the state government wishes to complete the works within time by the employees," the CM said.

"The Aadhaar-enabled biometric attendance would also reduce the paper works and remove the late attendance of employees in their offices," he added.

The Aadhar-enabled biometric attendance system will soon be introduced in other state government offices across the State, according to a General Administration Department official.

Earlier this month, CM Deb also announced his government's plans of reducing paper use to cut wastage of resources.
