The Delhi government has cancelled the leave of all its officers, officials and staff, and directed them not to leave the station in view of a rising number of Covid-19 cases in the city and the need of enough manpower to handle the situation.
It is anticipated that the containment of the pandemic will involve a huge mobilisation of human resources at various levels in the city government, according to an order issued by the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) on January 4. "The competent authority directs to cancel all leave granted, except medical leave, to all officers/officials/staff in all the departments, offices of Delhi government until further order," the order said.
