Delhi Central Government Offices Shut on Sept 11 Ahead of BRICS Summit

Delhi’s central government offices will not operate on September 11, the day the city is set to host the BRICS summit. The closure has been ordered to facilitate security arrangements and smooth functioning of the high‑profile meeting of the five member nations. Officials have advised employees to work from home or take leave for the day. The shutdown is limited to central government premises; other public services are expected to continue as usual. The move underscores the importance the administration places on ensuring an orderly summit environment.

The BRICS summit, bringing together Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, is scheduled to commence on September 11 in Delhi. Authorities anticipate heightened security and traffic management measures across the capital during the event.
