Gurugram administration issues an advisory for August 25, directing corporate and government offices to allow work from home as heavy rain is expected to cause waterlogging and traffic disruptions across the city. Authorities say several major roads and intersections may be affected, potentially leading to slowdowns and delays during the day.
Alongside the office directive, schools and other educational institutions are told to hold classes online on August 25. The guidance is intended to reduce the need for students and staff to travel amid rain-related concerns, while civic agencies carry out essential repair and maintenance work. Different reports describe the same measures as a safety step and a way to ease pressure on roads during expected rainfall.
Overall, the outlets align on the timing (August 25) and the core actions: work from home for offices and online learning for schools, driven by forecasts of continuous heavy rain and the risk of waterlogging and congestion.
