1. No office operations will be carried out on weekends unless otherwise requested by the management.
2. No office operations on weekends unless otherwise requested by the management.

Would please tell me which one is grammatically correct?

Both are possible. The first uses the future tense, suggesting that the situation with office operations is about to start. The second, although it doesn't contain a verb and therefore looks like a caption or a sign on a door, suggests that this is a current or habitual fact.
