In response to rising global economic uncertainties, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced a policy for government offices allowing employees to work from home two days a week. This decision follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal for fuel conservation, which includes minimizing vehicle use and adopting sustainable practices. The Chief Minister has cut her official convoy by nearly 60%, now utilizing only four vehicles, two of which are electric. The government is launching a campaign titled 'Mera Bharat Mera Yogdan' (My India, My Contribution) to promote fuel-saving measures among the public. Every Monday will be designated as 'Monday Metro', mandating all ministers and employees to commute using the Metro. Additionally, there will be a six-month freeze on purchasing new petrol, diesel, or electric vehicles, and a one-year ban on foreign travel for government officials. The government will also implement measures to reduce electricity consumption in offices, including setting air conditioning temperatures between 24 to 26 degrees Celsius and installing master switches to prevent wastage. PM Modi's appeal emphasizes collective action to mitigate the economic impact of international conflicts, urging citizens to conserve resources and avoid non-essential purchases.
