Haryana Govt. Issues Advisory For Gurugram's Corporate Employees To Work From Home Due To Heavy Rains

In the name of keeping safety measures at top priority, in many states Schools have been closed and a work from home policy on Monday, due to incessant rains and water logging, Gurugram being amongst that list.

On Monday, schools will remain closed in the national capital due to heavy rains. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi: “Keeping in view the torrential rains in Delhi for the last 2 days and the warnings of the Meteorological Department, tomorrow all schools in Delhi are being closed for a day”.  

Before Kejriwal’s tweet, Delhi Education Minister Atishi on Sunday instructed Education Department to shut schools for a day, Noida authorities also ordered a closure of schools in the district on Monday.    

Heavy rains also paralysed life in Gurugram as private and government schools including play schools were shut on Monday. The district administration also advised corporate sector employees to work from home since heavy rains blocked important roads, parks, underpasses and markets.  

The district administration advisory read: “In consideration of the aforementioned facts, all corporate offices and private institutions in the district are advised to guide their employees to work from home tomorrow i.e. on July 10, 2023 so that traffic congestion can be avoided and repair/restoration of civic amenities can be carried out smoothly by government agencies”.  

Ghaziabad district administration instructed all private and government schools to remain closed from July 10 to July 16. The Ghaziabad district magistrate had previously declared a holiday for schools in the district from July 12 to July 15 in view of the Kanwad Yatra.
