CPCB recommended private and government offices in Delhi and NCR to allow employees to work from home
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) recommended private and government offices in Delhi and NCR to allow employees to work from home.
The pollution body also asked schools to provide their own transport to children so that private vehicles don’t bunch outside schools.
The CPCB-led Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) taskforce conducted a meeting where these recommendations were made for winter when the pollution levels in the city is at its peak.
This advisory will be sent out to Delhi and the neighbouring towns of Gurugram, Ghaziabad, Noida and Faridabad.
“These recommendations are advisory in nature, but such participation from the public will go a long way in controlling the air quality,” said Prashant Gargava, member secretary, CPCB.
