Gurugram Construction Ban Impacts Realty Sector and Displaces Workers Amid Pollution Controls
A construction ban in Gurugram, imposed from November 5 to 20 to reduce air pollution under the Commission for Air Quality Management's order, has disrupted the real estate sector and left thousands of daily-wage construction workers jobless. Developers have requested exemptions for compliant sites to continue work, citing impacts on project timelines and labor. Meanwhile, labor unions seek a rehabilitation plan and minimum wage payments during the ban, as many migrant workers have left the city amid uncertainty over extended restrictions.
