Bengaluru techies in a quandary over lengthy, unscheduled power cuts

While heavy flooding has prompted IT companies to allow the work-from-home option, long and unscheduled power cuts have left their employees in a fix.

“Last week, I had a nightmare commuting to work. I spent close to three hours on the road due to floods. Hence, many of us decided to work from home this week. But frequent, long and unplanned power cuts have turned the situation hopeless,” said Swati K, a software engineer living in an apartment complex in Bellandur.

Many techies had a similar ordeal while trying to log into work on Monday and Tuesday.
