Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday (May 14, 2026) announced several austerity measures for government officials and the general public.
Ms. Gupta said that the government staff can work from home two days every week. She also said an advisory will be issued to private companies to implement work from home for two days a week. “For all big companies, we’ll request them personally,” the Delhi Chief Minister added.
“Every Monday, will be ‘Metro Day’. We all Ministers and senior officers, wherever possible, will use the metro to come to the office and go,” Ms. Gupta said.
Ms. Gupta also said “We have segregated the office timing so that traffic will be less.” For the Delhi government the official timings have been changed to 10.30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
“We have also directed the Municipal Corporation Delhi to function from 8.30 a.m. to 5 p.m.,” the Delhi CM said.
