Delhi Air Pollution : Solutions to pollution in Delhi; ‘Work form home’ for private and government employees

Delhi Air Pollution: New Delhi: Pollution has increased in Delhi-NCR. Not even the front can be seen and it is difficult to breathe everywhere. In the wake of increasing pollution, 50 percent working from home has been made mandatory in all government and private institutions in Delhi from Thursday. This decision has been taken to reduce the number of vehicles on the roads. It is hoped that this will help control the pollution in Delhi.

The government will compensate the registered construction workers affected by the construction ban as per GRAP-3 rules. Delhi Cabinet Minister Kapil Mishra announced that 50 per cent working from home will be mandatory in all government and private institutions from tomorrow. The labor department has decided that the registered workers affected by the 16-day construction stoppage during GRAP-3 will receive a compensation of Rs 10,000 directly into their accounts. Assistance will be given on this basis even after the end of GRAP-4. Organizations not complying with the rules will be penalized.
