Karnataka Govt Requests IT Companies To Extend WFH

To complete the ongoing Bengaluru metro construction, the Karnataka government on August 24 requested IT companies to continue work-from-home options for employees until December 2022, citing traffic congestion on Outer-Ring-Road (ORR). Reportedly, during the pandemic, working from home (WFH) offered some respite to traffic movement on ORR. It will be extremely challenging to regulate traffic when ORR metro construction begins, primarily if IT companies resume offices.
