Delhi Urges Work-From-Home for Fuel Conservation

Delhi Labour Minister Kapil Mishra calls on industries to adopt work-from-home practices for fuel conservation. In a virtual meeting, he emphasized reducing petrol and diesel consumption by 20% and promoted remote work two days a week. Essential services remain exempt from these voluntary guidelines.

Delhi's Labour and Development Minister Kapil Mishra spearheaded a virtual meeting on Friday, urging industrial and commercial sectors to implement work-from-home protocols at least twice weekly. The initiative aims to conserve fuel amidst soaring consumption concerns and promote public welfare.

During the session at Delhi Secretariat, attended by Labour Department officials, Mishra reviewed advisories on fuel conservation and public transport usage. He highlighted the necessity of reducing petrol and diesel consumption, drawing inspiration from appeals made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi amidst shifting global scenarios.

Mishra appealed to large private enterprises, including IT firms, to champion remote work schedules, reflecting Delhi Government's commitment to cut petrol and diesel usage by 20%. The campaign advocates staggered office timings, carpooling, virtual meetings, and minimized travel, fostering voluntary contributions to national interests.
