Amidst the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) demolition drive, Wipro, which is listed as having encroached upon a storm-water drain (SWD), on Tuesday said that it is working with the civic body to clear the structures on the drain on its campus in Doddakannelli.
A document by BBMP, dated August 17, shows that properties built on various survey numbers in the Mahadevapura zone had blocked the water flow on stormwater drains (SWD), which included Wipro along with other 14 properties owned by IT parks and builders.
“Wipro remains committed to supporting the ecology of the area it operates in. We are proactively working with the BBMP to increase the capacity and access of the SWD passing through our Doddakannelli campus, built as per plans sanctioned by authorities concerned. Wipro has also opened a part of the compound wall to enable BBMP to carry out these efforts easily,” the company said in a statement.
