Solution(By Examveda Team)

Since the given statement talks of an order not to let the officers read newspapers during office hours, it implies that reading newspapers during office hours is undesirable. So, I does not follow. Also, the order has been issued with an intention to prevent harm to office work due to officers' other indulgences. Thus, II also does not follow.
