The government has issued a new set of office regulations and behavioral guidelines for officials and employees to enhance public service quality and administrative efficiency. According to a notice signed by Senior Assistant Secretary Mosammat Tania Ferdous of the Ministry of Youth and Sports on April 2, all government staff must remain in their offices from 9:00 to 9:40 a.m. daily. The directive aims to ensure better citizen services and strengthen inter-departmental coordination.

The notice reiterates earlier Cabinet Division instructions that were reportedly not being followed, causing disruptions in public service. It also calls for responsible energy use, advising officials to rely on natural light during the day, maintain air conditioner temperatures at or above 25 degrees Celsius, and ensure all electrical devices are turned off before leaving the office. Additionally, it prohibits decorative lighting without government approval and emphasizes cleanliness in offices, corridors, and restrooms.

To ensure compliance, each department and agency must form a vigilance team to monitor implementation. The government stated that these measures are intended to promote transparency and proper use of state resources.
