Shivesh Kumar Gupta, the Administrative Officer, hailed the order of the Magistrate and said that employees should wear formal clothes in the office.
"There is a provision of dress code in advance that the normal dress is worn in the office and this is not a new thing. All the seniors in the office come in formal attire only they never wear jeans. Some are our new colleagues wear jeans and t-shirts sometimes but they have also been instructed and they are also managing this very well. So everyone is happy with the dress code and we are not feeling anything different. We are also not feeling forced. This is a good decision as everyone should come in formal attire," said Gupta.
