Mayor locks latecomers out of office

In case the Ulhasnagar municipal workers were missing, or had missed out on, standing outside classrooms in punishment for reaching school late, Monday provided them a refreshing adult version of the old lesson in punctuality. Around 10.35 am, over 150 staffers at the headquarters of the Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation were red in the face as they endured standing in the summer swelter for close to an hour outside their office. They came into this fate after the disciplinary action by Mayor Asha Idnani, who locked them out of the administrative complex for forcing citizens to cool off their heels by showing up late.
