Delhi:
With the onset of winter, the air of Delhi-NCR has also become poisonous. There is black fog everywhere. It is as if Delhi has turned into a gas chamber. Even breathing in open air has become difficult. Amidst this concern, the Delhi government has directed to implement the system of ‘work-from-home’ for 50% of the employees. Two Delhi ministers have asked their departments to allow 50% of their employees to ‘work-from-home’ as the air pollution situation in the city continues to worsen.

In view of the bad climate of Delhi, Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa and Health Department Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh have directed half of the employees of their departments to work from home. Officials say that its purpose is to reduce vehicles on the roads of the capital and to encourage employees to work from home, so that pollution caused by vehicles can be reduced.
