Tripura: 22 Die, 17 Lakh Affected Due To Flood, Landslides; IMD Predicts Heavy Rainfall Today

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

If not possible then at least during the time when monsoon is at its peak...

If not possible then at least on the days when it rains a lot regardless of it being the expected peak of the season

It saves lots of time and trouble with potholes, getting sick due to exposure to rain, traffic, etc.

In the long term it saved more time of employees and company if companies consider these factors.

For the monsoon season everyone should get WFH

Bangladesh Floods: 20 Dead, 5.2 Million Affected as Monsoon Rains Wreak Havoc

TL;DR

Silicon Valley is dry and dying in February.

Almost 2cr people live in Bengaluru and outskirts, dependent on kaveri, borewell and tanker water.

Kaveri water - Stalin and Sidda are busy in cage fight and at end they will abuse NaMo for this also.

Lakes are exploited by corrupt politicians alongwith bbmp, bda and corrupt beaureaucrats.

Borewell ain't working as climate change ruined water level due to shift in monsoon rain pattern.

Tanker mafia again ready to loot.

North India is lucky to have 3 all year river like ganges, indus and brahmaputra. Due to Himalayas glaciers they are all weather rivers

Sadly south India has 3 major river like godavari, narmada and kaveri but all are monsoon river.

Water was already having 1000 tds and now that water is also unavailable.

I will never buy those shitty 1cr houses at Bangalore or even land due to this water crisis.

What do u think Bengaluru lovers or haters?

Bengaluru: Bengaluru, often hailed as "India's Silicon Valley," is grappling with a severe water shortage this year, much earlier than usual, as weak southwest monsoon rains have led to depleted groundwater levels and reduced water levels in the Cauvery River basin reservoirs that supply the city, as per a Reuters report. With roughly 14 million residents and a bustling hub of IT companies and startups, the city is facing unprecedented challenges in meeting its daily water needs., Bengaluru News, Times Now
