Why is it necessary for professionals to work from home this winter ?
If you are commuting to workplace this winter, please keep in mind that you are just boosting pollution levels which already are out of control in Delhi NCR. Please ask your employer to provide you work for home option(if possible) to avoid addition of vehicles on roads. Otherwise take responsibility for all those deaths in the city which are results of on-going harmful pollution gases. Staring in wonder and acting as a contributor to festival pollution and crop burning pollution is not at all required at this time as our future is on stake. By not taking proper steps, we are responsible to produce health issues in our children.
Anyone for whom there is possibility to work from home or remote location should try it and employers should devise this much flexibility in their work life balance policies. This would help combat air pollution challenge to greater extent in coming 2-3 months when these levels are at their extreme limits. This is going to save electricity, fuel, water, time and possibly increase employee efficiency.
Don’t forget to buy these products during coming winters:

The wind will change again and bless Delhi with lung-killing toxic gases. News and media channels will again start blooming with AQI status updates. People will start blame game by passing on responsibility to vehicles on road, farmers in Punjab & Haryana and Polythene users. On the other hand the demon of pollution is going to penetrate in our bodies through soil, water and air, making our life worse than it is now.
Government, Supreme Court and National Green Tribunal(NGT) along with citizens of Delhi are devising policies and regulations to control air pollution, but impact is still invisible. Need of an hour is monitoring and evaluation of what had worked so far and what has not. With an objective of proving what is working to curb air pollution, i heard today that third edition of Air-O-Thon is arriving in New Delhi on 26th Oct 2018 organized by VProspurs and IPCA. The conference will focus on understanding effects of pollution on our health, and how to leverage technology to mitigate risks to human lives in the state.
