Karnataka govt asks Bengaluru IT firms to allow WFH till 2022 to avoid traffic mess

With Metro construction work set to start in Bengaluru, the state government has called upon IT Parks located along this stretch to extend the ongoing Work From Home for their staff.

The Karnataka government has called upon all IT parks located along the Outer Ring Road (ORR) stretch in Bengaluru to extend the ongoing Work From Home (WFH) period up to December 2022. If that is not possible, the government has asked them to stagger the working hours for those coming to office. There are more than 800 companies with a workforce of 1.5 lakh IT professionals along the ORR stretch in Bengaluru at present. This stretch is infamous for its continuous traffic snarls.
