Bengaluru:
After the Election Commission received several complaints that IT/BT companies based in Bengaluru had not announced leave to the employees to vote on May 10, Wednesday, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) warned of action against private companies that fail to give leave to employees for elections.
The BBMP, in a release on Tuesday, stated, “In view of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly election scheduled on 10 May, to facilitate voters to cast their votes under the Representation of the Peoples Act, 1951 section 135(B) 1, grant of paid holiday to the employees on the day of poll is mandatory on Wednesday.”
