Maharashtra government has come up with a dress code for its employees that bars them from wearing jeans and T-shirts to work, and advises them to wear Khadi every Friday.

Here are pointers of the Maharashtra government circular issued on December 8* 'It has been pointed out that many employees, particularly contractual employees and advisors appointed for government work, dress up in a way that would be deemed inappropriate for a government employee. This tends to create a negative impression among the minds of people about government servants.'* 'If the dress of officials and employees is unsuitable and unclean, it also has an indirect impact on their work.'
