Gurugram Pushes Work From Home, Staggers Government Hours Under GRAP Stage IV

Gurugram district commissioner on Sunday on his official X (formerly Twitter)handle announced staggered timing for all public offices in the Gurugram district that come under the Haryana government and municipal corporations, councils or committees.

Gurugram Orders WFH, Staggers Office Timings Amid Pollution

Overview

  • Private and corporate offices were advised to enable work from home from December 22 until further orders.
  • Public offices adopted revised hours: state departments 9:30 am–5:30 pm; Gurugram and Manesar municipal offices 8:30 am–4:30 pm; Sohna, Pataudi Mandi and Farrukhnagar bodies 8:30 am–4:30 pm.
  • The guidance follows CAQM’s December 13 invocation of Stage IV, which allows offices to operate at 50% on‑site staffing with the remainder working remotely.
  • Officials said the steps are intended to stagger commutes, ease congestion, and reinforce construction and industrial curbs under Stage IV.
  • CPCB readings placed Gurugram’s AQI around 325–328 in recent checks, and the orders will remain until further direction with more actions possible if conditions persist.
