The Tripura government has asked fifty percent of its Group C and Group D employees to work from home (WFH) barring those who are engaged in essential services.
The development comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged everyone to conserve fuel and adopt work from home wherever feasible.
The instruction might also be implemented for employees working in the state’s local bodies, public sector units, autonomous bodies and other subordinate offices.
