Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta has approved the creation of 2,345 additional posts in the Delhi Fire Service, the first large-scale cadre restructuring in the department’s 84-year history since its establishment in 1942. The total number of sanctioned posts will rise from 3,096 to 5,441, with increases across ranks including Deputy Chief Fire Officer, Divisional Officer, Assistant Divisional Officer, Station Officer, Sub-Officer, Leading Fireman, Fire Operator, Peon and Gardener. CM Rekha Gupta said Delhi’s growing population, densely populated settlements, high-rise buildings, industrial establishments and complex infrastructure are creating new challenges for emergency services, where every minute matters. She said adequate trained manpower, a strong leadership structure and quick response play a decisive role in protecting people and property, and the decision is an investment in Delhi’s public safety, institutional capacity and future requirements. Home Minister Ashish Sood said the long-awaited restructuring will give the department a stronger institutional foundation to handle fires, accidents, emergencies and rescue operations. The Delhi Fire Service, which began in 1942 with four fire stations and 186 personnel, now operates 71 fire stations across approximately 1,484 square kilometres.

Delhi Chief Minister Smt. Rekha Gupta inaugurated the Diwali Bazaar 2026 at the Blind Relief Association premises in New Delhi, visiting stalls, making purchases and appreciating handmade products crafted by visually impaired individuals. The bazaar, a part of Delhi’s Diwali tradition for more than 45 years, is being held from October 30 to November 5 with more than 250 stalls.

CM Rekha Gupta said a person’s physical challenges should never come in the way of their talent, abilities or dreams, and that society must recognise and encourage visually impaired citizens by purchasing their products. Decorative and utility items required for Mukhyamantri Janseva Sadan will also be bought from the bazaar this year, and she appealed to Delhi residents to visit and support these artisans.

The Chief Minister also visited Cafe Mast, run by visually impaired youth from the organisation’s Multi-Skill Training Programme, and had a meal there. The youth independently handle everything from food preparation to customer service and transactions. She appreciated their confidence and efficiency, reaffirming that the Delhi Government is committed to accessible infrastructure and equal opportunities for persons with disabilities.
