The Public Service Commission is now gathering information on the number of civil servants who did not turn up to work today before deciding what action to take against them.

Permanent Secretary for Public Service Parmesh Chand said the permanent secretaries have been directed to check with their ministries and departments on the reasons why some civil servants did not show up at work.

Chand said if these civil servants deliberately stayed away due to the false information that was being circulated, the PSC will take disciplinary action against them.
