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.
