Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Wednesday ordered 50 per cent of the staff in government offices to work from home. He also urged private offices, industries and businesses to implement similar measures to help mitigate the city’s air pollution crisis.

However, essential services such as healthcare, sanitation, public transport, fire services, law enforcement, power supply, water treatment, and emergency response operations will continue to work in full capacity to ensure public services remain unaffected.
