Four more big firms—the General Insurance Corporation of India, GlaxoSmithKline, Gammon India and Godrej—have pledged support to Central Railway (CR) Mumbai’s appeal to implement staggered work timings. On December 9, mid-day reported about six organisations that vowed to implement the policy.

A B Desai from Gammon India said his organisation had a flexitime policy and employees chose their time depending on the traffic situation. “In our opinion, it’s better if the government issues an ordinance segregating timings for different sectors. There can be different time slots for each one starting from 7 am and ending at 9 pm,” he said.
