Police issues ‘work-from-home’ advisory as rain inundates Gurugram

GURUGRAM: August 6 Intermittent heavy rain since the early hours of Thursday morning brought relief from the humid heat but also caused hardship for residents and commuters, with most parts of Gurugram waterlogged, triggering traffic jams, including on the Delhi-Jaipur highway.

Following heavy downpours beginning around 2:40 am, Gurugram police issued an advisory urging corporate establishments and private institutions to allow employees to work from home. Police have appealed to the public via social media not to step out unnecessarily and to use alternative routes.

“The Meteorological Department has maintained a heavy rain alert for the next few hours. We strongly urge the corporate sector and private establishments to allow their employees to ‘work from home’ today. A reduction in the movement of non-essential vehicles will greatly assist our traffic management teams in maintaining smooth traffic flow and ensuring the uninterrupted operation of emergency services,” police said in the advisory.
