“The Chief Minister also appealed for prioritizing the work-from-home culture in the State. He laid special emphasis on the use of PNG, Metro services, public transport and buses operated by the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation. In workplaces with a large workforce, a State-level advisory should be issued recommending work-from-home for two days a week. Seminars, meetings and workshops of the Education Department, along with other official meetings, should also be conducted virtually. Fifty percent of internal meetings at the State Secretariat and Directorates should also be held virtually,” reads an official statement.
The Chief Minister said, “Schools and colleges should encourage the use of school buses, and if required, Transport Corporation buses may also be linked with schools. To reduce fuel consumption during peak hours, office timings may be divided into different batches.” The U.P. CM stressed that official meetings, seminars, conferences and workshops should be organised virtually as much as possible.
