Amid heavy rainfall and widespread waterlogging, the Gurugram Police on Thursday urged corporate offices and private establishments to allow employees to work from home (WFH) to reduce traffic congestion and ensure smoother movement of emergency services across the city.
In an advisory issued on Thursday morning, the police said continuous rainfall is likely to cause severe waterlogging at several major roads and intersections, resulting in traffic snarls throughout the day. To ease pressure on the road network, companies have been requested to permit employees to work from home wherever feasible.
"We strongly urge the corporate sector and private establishments to extend the work-from-home facility to their employees for today. Reduced traffic on the roads will help our traffic management teams regulate vehicle movement more effectively and ensure uninterrupted access for emergency services," Gurugram Police PRO Sandeep Turan said.
