Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has announced a two-day work-from-home policy for government employees each week as part of fuel-saving measures. The Delhi government will also promote online meetings, reduce the use of official vehicles and discourage foreign travel by officials. Private companies have been advised to adopt similar work-from-home arrangements, with the labour department monitoring compliance. The measures follow Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal to reduce petroleum consumption as tensions in the Middle East disrupt oil supply routes through the Strait of Hormuz, raising concerns over a possible energy and fuel crisis.
