The Delhi government has officially revoked its May 8 leave cancellation order for all officers and officials. The move comes as military tensions between India and Pakistan ease following the cross-border strikes under Operation Sindoor.
Earlier this month, India launched a strong counter-strike on May 7, targeting nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
This military response came after the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, where 26 people—mostly tourists—were killed. It was a moment that shook the country and pushed security forces into high alert.
The Delhi government followed with an order cancelling all staff leaves on May 8, readying for any emergency.
But just three days later, on May 10, both countries decided to step back and halt further military action. With that, normalcy slowly returned. And now, the capital’s services department has rolled back the emergency measures, reinstating staff leave “with immediate effect.”
Less panic. More normalcy. Government offices are no longer in a state of war-readiness. Delhiites can expect routine services to function without disruption, as staff can finally breathe—and book their summer breaks.
It also signals something else: confidence. When a government withdraws an emergency order, it means it believes the worst has passed. And that’s something we all need right now—less fear, more focus.
Let’s be honest—India didn’t just hit back. We hit back smart and fast. The name “Operation Sindoor” may sound poetic, but the message was loud and clear: cross the line, and we strike back harder.
The revoking of the leave cancellation order is more than a file note. It’s a sign that India handled its business and is now moving forward.
