New Delhi, October 1: The Delhi government plans to roll out ‘location-specific’ staggered office timings in the national capital from November. As a result of this, people working in busy business and office hubs such as Connaught Place, ITO, Karol Bagh, Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar and Nehru Place may see a change in their work hours, according to a Hindustan Times report.
As per the government plan, offices will be asked to operate in different timings instead of everyone having a common 9 am to 5 pm work shift. The initial plan was drafted on Monday when Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal met experts to discuss on the plan which has the motive to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution in the national capital.
After the meeting, transport minister Kailash Gahlot informed that the staggered timing will start from November 4, the same day the odd-even road space rationing scheme is rolled out. The changed timings will be applicable to Delhi government offices and area-specific private offices and markets alike.
