Gurugram officials issue notices to two companies for breaking work-from-home curbs

The sub-divisional magistrate of Badshahpur in Gurugram has issued notices to two corporate offices for having more employees working on site than allowed under the region’s anti-pollution curbs.

The notices were served on Thursday, 5 November, after surprise checks found more staff working on site in both offices than the rules allow, officials said.

Limits on office attendance, with the rest of the staff working from home, are among the measures States in Delhi-NCR can impose when air quality turns “severe”, to cut traffic on the roads. Companies that ignore them can face action under the Environment Protection Act.

With air quality expected to worsen after Deepavali, more inspections are likely.
