The
introduction of digital attendance (fingerprint scanner) at the Forestry
Service has been accepted by Forest Officers with mixed feelings. Obviously,
this new technology is ensuring better accuracy and punctuality in the time of
arrival and departure of those concerned. But, very often performance and
productivity of a certain category of Officers outweigh their punctuality.

Will anybody
believe if one says that a few decades ago, there existed a breed of Forest
Officers who were roaming with their attendance registers in the forests and
also at home? Time of arrival and departure were inserted at their whims,
sometimes even after a few days or a week. This may appear to be fiction or a
concocted story, but it is not so. At times, truth is stranger than fiction or
story.
Unfortunately,
those golden days for some will never come back again!
