Lahore High Court orders two-day work-from-home policy for private sector

Lahore High Court has directed the caretaker Punjab government to implement two days weekly off for all educational institutions till January next year, along with a two-day work-from-home policy for the private sector.

In reply to a plea seeking the court’s intervention in tackling smog in the province, the court released a three-page long order.

In a bid to counter deteriorating quality in Punjab, the caretaker government on Sunday made it mandatory for all citizens to wear a face mask for a week in the smog-hit districts of the province.
