Amidst the transition from remote work to office settings post-COVID, the tech community in Silicon City finds itself advocating for a return to remote work, driven not by virus concerns but by the pressing issue of Bengaluru’s water crisis and scorching summer. Heatwave and water scarcity have become the norm, prompting IT professionals to reconsider their workplace arrangements.

Initially, work from home was a measure to evade the coronavirus. However, with Bengaluru’s water crisis worsening day by day, employees are now urging their companies to reinstate remote work options. Some are even contemplating relocating to escape the scorching heat and water scarcity in the city, intending to work remotely until the end of summer.

With children gearing up for exams and subsequent summer holidays, families are eyeing alternatives to Bengaluru’s parched conditions, ready to seek refuge elsewhere. In response to the ongoing water woes, certain companies are contemplating reintroducing remote work setups, recognizing the need to address the persistent challenges faced by the capital.

As the summer approaches, there’s little relief in sight for Bengaluru’s water crisis. The populace finds itself grappling with this problem, uncertain of a respite in the foreseeable future.
