Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent call for austerity amid global crises, the Delhi government has advised private firms to allow employees to work from home for two days each week. This initiative, aimed at conserving fuel and reducing emissions, complements similar measures already in place for government employees. The advisory from the Delhi labour department encourages various sectors, including IT and commercial establishments, to adopt these practices while exempting essential services like healthcare and sanitation. Additionally, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation plans to enhance public transport by adding 24 train trips from May 18, further promoting the use of public commuting. The advisory highlights that commuting significantly contributes to fuel consumption, and staggered office hours are recommended to ease traffic congestion. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has also initiated a 90-day 'Mera Bharat, Mera Yogdan' campaign to encourage fuel-saving practices across both government and private sectors. These measures align with Modi's broader push for national fuel conservation.
