Gurugram Bans Construction, Limits Office Attendance to 50% Amid Rising Pollution

Enforcement will include daily inspections by local authorities, with violations subject to action under the Commission for Air Quality Management Act. The measures aim to improve air quality amid worsening pollution levels.
