Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announces a set of fuel-saving measures for government operations. The plan includes two days of work from home (WFH) for government offices. On Mondays, the government directs ministers and officers to use the Delhi Metro, with Metro travel described as mandatory for that day. In addition, the administration introduces a weekly “no vehicle day,” encouraging reduced use of private and official vehicles to conserve fuel.
Other measures reported alongside the WFH and Metro directive include reductions in fuel allocations for official vehicles. Times of India also reports a 20% cut in official vehicle fuel quotas. It further states that Delhi has put a six-month ban on new vehicle purchases. The initiatives are framed as follow-up steps to a fuel-conservation call attributed to the Prime Minister. Across outlets, the core elements of the announcement are the WFH for government offices, Monday Metro use for ministers and officers, and a weekly no-vehicle day, with additional austerity steps such as fuel quota cuts and vehicle purchase restrictions.
