The Tripura government has introduced a two-day weekend for all government offices, closing them on Saturdays and Sundays. This decision, announced by Transport, Food and Civil Supplies Minister Sushanta Chowdhury after a Cabinet meeting, aims to reduce fuel consumption and promote energy savings. Previously, offices were closed only on Sundays and on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month. Alongside this change, office hours will now start at 9:30 a.m. and end at 6:00 p.m. to further enhance energy efficiency. These measures align with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent appeal to conserve fuel amidst rising global tensions, particularly in the Middle East. The government has also initiated various expenditure-control measures, including virtual meetings and increased use of electric and CNG vehicles. Instructions have been issued to ensure compliance with these initiatives, emphasizing the importance of reducing administrative vehicle use and avoiding large gatherings. The previous directive requiring 50% of Group C and D employees to work from home has been withdrawn, marking a significant shift in the state's operational strategy.
