Bengaluru Techie's Viral Plea: Shut Down IT Parks, Go Remote To Fix City's Infrastructure
A social media post about Bengaluru's deteriorating roads and infrastructure has gained widespread attention. A techie named Amarnath Shivashankar has appealed to the Karnataka government on X to temporarily close the city's major IT parks to expedite necessary repairs and construction work.
He urged the government to implement a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and allow IT companies to work from home for a few months to address road and stormwater drainage issues.
In his post, Amarnath wrote that the BCP should be implemented, the IT parks should be temporarily closed, roads and drainage systems should be repaired, incomplete flyovers should be completed, and the number of BMTC buses should be increased. He also stated that "where there is a will, there is a way" and that Bengaluru can be completely repaired in one go.
