Under this, it was decided to open the government offices under the Delhi government at 10 am, while the offices under the MCD were ordered to open at 8:30 am. The government had also appealed to private sector companies to open and close their offices at different times as per their convenience.
But in the new notification issued by the Lieutenant Governor’s office, it has been said that now the pollution level has come down, so appropriate changes are being made in the opening and closing time of government offices. This order will come into effect with immediate effect.
