In a bid to conserve fuel, the Tripura government has instructed that 50% of its Group C and Group D employees work from home, following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent appeal. The directive, communicated through a notification by special secretary AK Bhattacharya, excludes employees involved in essential services. Department heads are tasked with ensuring that half of their staff attends the office daily, while the other half will work from home, remaining reachable via phone and electronic communication. A weekly roster will be established to manage this arrangement, allowing for a rotation of employees, particularly those residing close to their offices, to attend work on alternate weeks.
