Now it will get work from home! BJP MP’s appeal to IT companies

The continuous rains in Bengaluru, known as Silicon Valley of India, have not only disturbed the life of the common people there, but walking on the streets is not less than any trouble. From Sunday to Monday, within just 24 hours, there has been 105.5 mm of rain, which is the highest since 2011.

In such a situation, PC Mohan, MP from Bangalore Central of Bharatiya Janata Party, asked IT companies to consider giving work from home to their employees. Taking the help of his microblogging site X, he has said that all companies including Infosys should necessarily do the work from home for two days due to rain.

All companies in Bengaluru, including Infosys, must declare two days of work from home due to rains.

Seeing the situation in Bengaluru due to rain, IT firm Cognizant also asked to work from home on 20 May. This US company has about 40 thousand employees in Bengaluru. On the other hand, Infosys has already adopted a work from home policy for three days. In such a situation, many employees have opted to work from home due to bad weather.

According to the report of Money Control, Infosys has given a work from home to its employees on 21 May. According to reports, the company has written in a mail issued to its employees that work from home can work if needed. It is further written that in view of the weather, all the employees of the company can take the option of work from home by talking to their concerned manager on 21 May i.e. Wednesday.
