New Delhi. Due to pollution in Delhi, the government has issued two more important orders. From tomorrow i.e. 18th December, 50 percent work from home has been made mandatory in all government and private offices of Delhi. The objective behind this is that if there are fewer vehicles on the roads, the pollution level will reduce. The government has made it clear that heavy fines will be imposed on those who are negligent in this order. In another order, the Delhi government has decided to deposit Rs 10,000 each in the accounts of all registered labourers.
