YANGON, March 23 — Myanmar introduced work-from-home on Wednesdays for government departments starting on March 25, until further notice, to help reduce fuel consumption.
Xinhua, quoting the state-owned daily The Mirror today, reported that the National Defence and Security Council's Information Team said the primary objective of this measure is fuel conservation.
Therefore, officers and staff must refrain from any non-essential travel or vehicle use on these designated work-from-home days.
It also encouraged private organisations and businesses to adopt similar arrangements whenever possible.
In response to potential fuel shortages linked to the ongoing conflict in West Asia, the government had previously implemented odd-even vehicle rotation systems and fuel rationing.
Additionally, it is working to secure fuel imports through various channels to ensure continued supply.
