- Delhi NCR air pollution: Judicial oversight and multi-state action
- The Supreme Court directed action against air pollution in the capital, ordering the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to regulate vehicle entry.
Zomato and Snapdeal comply with air quality mandates in NCR
What happened
The Commission for Air Quality Management issued an order on October 30 directing government and private offices in Delhi and five adjoining National Capital Region districts to restrict physical attendance to 50 percent between November 5 and November 20. Snapdeal confirmed that nearly half of its workforce is working remotely during this period. Zomato's parent company also capped physical attendance at 50 percent in compliance with the directive.

Why it matters
The mandate requires companies operating in the National Capital Region to adjust their physical presence. This shift to hybrid work arrangements affects operational costs and workforce management for businesses in the area, as mandated by the Commission for Air Quality Management.
The Supreme Court previously directed action against air pollution in the capital, leading to a coordinated pollution control program involving multiple states.
