Frowning at the casual clothes sported by many staffers, especially contract employees, the Maharashtra government has suggested an 'appropriate' dress code, including footwear, besides 'Khadi' clothes once a week in tune with their responsibilities, officials said here on Friday.

As per a notification, the state has barred jeans and T-shirts and other such casual attire by all staffers on duty in all government offices, including the headquarters at Mantralaya in Mumbai.
