Indian IT companies such as Tata Consultancy Services (TCS ), Infosys and Cognizant are hit by protests on Cauvery water dispute in Bengaluru.
The companies have declared one-day off as employees are feeling unsafe due to escalated protests and agitators burning down public transport.
"They have been stopping our buses and employees are feeling unsafe. We had to declare a holiday just for safety. These are calls being taken on a day-to-day basis," an IT executive from Cognizant told ET.
Protests escalated after the Supreme Court ordered Karnataka to release water from Cauvery River to Tamil Nadu. The Cauvery water dispute has been a bone of contention between the two states.
