Gurugram administration issues show-cause notices to law firms Trilegal and JSA for allegedly breaching a mandatory 50% work-from-home (WFH) order intended to curb pollution. Media reports say surprise inspections found more employees on-site than permitted under the anti-pollution directive.
The action follows checks at the firms’ Gurugram offices, including the Godrej GCR complex in Sector 42. One report says disgruntled employees tip off the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), after which inspections are carried out by officials led by a Badshahpur sub-divisional magistrate (SDM). Another outlet focuses on the notices being sent after the surprise inspection as air quality worsens.
Outlets broadly agree on the firms involved and the central allegation: physical attendance exceeded the permitted limit during the WFH enforcement. Some reports add specific counts of staff present versus total workforce, and mention short deadlines for written explanations and possible action under CAQM legislation; others provide only high-level confirmation of the notices and inspection trigger.
