Sub: Biometric attendance system.
Sir,
            Kindly refer to the Ref. No. 220/BA/14 Dt. 04.12.14 of the Association on the above subject.
            2. Your kind attention is invited to the news item  published in the National daily namely Hindustan. As per the news item, the Indian Medical Association has warned the private as well as government organizations that the biometric machines may also transmit the swine flu. The President of the Indian Medical Association has said that the virus of the swine flu stays on the sensor of the machine, even if it is punched by a fully recovered individual already suffered by the disease. In such a situation, the virus shall enter into the body of the other healthy individuals using the machine. So, the Indian Medical Association has asked to use other alternative replacing biometric attendance.  
3. No need to submit that the swine flu has already become an epidemic causing thousands of deaths in our country as per the news items, electronic as well as print. Therefore, it is the responsibility of we all to take the due measures to save our officers from this epidemic. If we keep silent on the issue, we all will be responsible for any casualty if happens in this regard. Many of the private hospitals have already stopped the biometric attendance system as a measure against this epidemic. It is also worth to mention that the possibility of transmitting many other viral and bacterial diseases by the biometric machines may not be ruled out.
            4. In view of the above, it is requested that the biometric attendance system may kindly immediately be stopped and only the already existing provisions may kindly be followed to ascertain the attendance of our officers. No need to submit that the matter is to be taken very seriously.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,



(RAVI MALIK),
