Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1892/H=521/th=1431)

There is no problem, if you assume the job of computer maintenance,. Also, keep on trying your level best to arrange for the jumu'ah. It is strange not to have jumu’ah salah in a place like Gurgaon, build some system with the advice of local Muslims.
