Gurugram district administration has issued an advisory for Tuesday, August 25, urging corporate offices, government, private schools, and other educational institutions to allow employees to work from home to reduce traffic volume on roads. According to the advisory, continuous heavy rainfall is likely to cause waterlogging on several major roads and at intersections across the city, leading to traffic snarls during the day.
“In view of the heavy rainfall in Gurugram district on 24.08.2026, there are chances of waterlogging and traffic congestion. Therefore, all corporate offices and government and private schools/institutions in the district are advised to guide their employees to work from home from 25.08.2026, so that traffic congestion can be avoided and repair works on roads and drains can be carried out smoothly by civic agencies,” an advisory from the District Disaster Management Authority read.
