CHENNAI: The Chennai city police have issued show-cause notices to some ministerial staff for failing to turn up for work without permission from their seniors.

Police said the show-cause notices were issued to 53 staff members of administrative and headquarters wings of the city police. They have been asked to appear before their seniors and explain.

The staff include assistants to the superintendents of a few sections at the commissioner’s office who had failed to turn up for work since March 23, even before the lockdown to prevent the spread of Covid-19 came into force.

The police said departmental action would be initiated against those who failed to give an explanation.
