Delhi Government Cancels All Staff Leave Amid Heightened India-Pakistan Tensions
Delhi, 8 May 2025
The Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi has issued an order cancelling all leave for its officers and officials with immediate effect. The order, dated May 8, 2025, cites the "prevailing situation and preparedness for emergency response system" as the reason for this directive.
This move comes amidst escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. Reports indicate that the situation is a result of a recent attack in Jammu, which has led to retaliatory actions. Code-named "Operation Sindoor," these actions have further heightened the state of alert in the region.
