In view of the continuously deteriorating air quality in Delhi and surrounding areas, the Deputy Commissioner of Gurugram issued a directive on Sunday, asking all private offices to adopt a work-from-home arrangement. The Gurugram district administration also revised the working hours of government offices in the area.
This directive was issued after the Commission for Air Quality Management in Delhi-NCR implemented the fourth stage of the Graded Response Action Plan. Air quality in the national capital and its surrounding areas has been steadily declining for the past few days.
