Companies housed in the city’s IT corridor are facing a dilemma as they consider various options to make it easy for employees to get to work on Friday, when the Chinese president Xi Jinping’s convoy takes the road to reach Mamallapuram for an informal summit with PM Narendra Modi.
While most companies are asking its employees to work from home or avoid coming to offices on OMR, those where it is a must – like areas of disaster recovery related work, companies are asking its employees to avoid those timings when VIP movement is high.
Police officials are visiting tech campuses and have asked companies to furnish details of foreign employees. “They told us that there will be restrictions on movement for a couple of hours during the day and evening. While there is no advisory issued, police officers have told us to declare a day off, if we can,” a facilities manager of a tech company told TOI.
Most companies seem to be waiting for a general advisory from city authorities and industry body Nasscom on this matter, and said they will take a decision on Thursday.
Spokespersons of large IT employers including Cognizant and Freshworks said it will be business as usual for them as restrictions on movements are expected to placed only for a few hours.
