Two law firms in Gurugram have received official notices for violating the mandatory 50% work-from-home directive due to worsening air quality, following a surprise inspection by local authorities.
Two law firms in Gurugram have been issued official notices for failing to comply with the mandatory 50% work-from-home (WFH) order. The directive was implemented by local authorities in response to deteriorating air quality conditions in the National Capital Region.
The action was taken after a team led by the Badshahpur Sub-District Magistrate (SDM) conducted a surprise inspection at both offices. During the visit, the officials found that the firms were not adhering to the prescribed WFH ratio, thereby violating the environmental health guidelines.
The notices serve as a formal warning to the firms, emphasizing the strict enforcement of measures designed to reduce office occupancy during periods of poor air quality. Authorities have indicated that non-compliance with such health and safety protocols will attract further administrative action.
This move underscores the local administration's commitment to enforcing environmental regulations, particularly in sectors that can easily transition to remote work models to mitigate the impact of pollution on public health.
