Delhi makes 50% remote work mandatory to fight pollution
Delhi just told offices that half their employees need to work from home, starting now.
The goal is simple: cut down on daily traffic and help clear up the city's seriously bad air.
This move is part of an urgent push to protect public health as pollution levels hit dangerous highs.
Companies asked to help, bigger plans ahead
The government wants companies to actually support their teams during this switch—such as providing resources and smoother setups for remote work.
People in Delhi are also being advised to stay indoors as much as possible and take extra care if they have to go out.
Officials say they'll keep a close eye on air quality and could roll out more rules if things don't improve.
Meanwhile, longer-term fixes are in the works so the city isn't stuck with this problem every year.
