The Gurugram administration has imposed a ban on dust-generating construction and demolition activities from November 5 to 20 to address worsening air pollution.Concurrently, government and private offices are directed to limit physical attendance to 50%, with the remainder working from home, to reduce vehicular emissions and public density.

The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) is facing a severe staff crunch, with 78% of its junior engineer posts vacant. This shortage, particularly in the engineering wing, is contributing to the city's ongoing struggles with waterlogging, poor sanitation, and other civic problems. The lack of engineers impacts the MCG's ability to manage and maintain essential services for the rapidly expanding city.

MCG has revised its administrative structure, reducing the number of zones from eight to six. This reorganization, effective immediately, aligns with the state government's sanction of staffing for six joint commissioners. Each new zone will encompass six wards, distributing all 36 MCG wards across the new structure.
