It was a much-needed break from the hustle-bustle, dense traffic and the incessant cacophony that has come to characterise the IT hub of Hyderabad with tech companies declaring Thursday a holiday in line with the government advisory to facilitate voting by the workforce.
While the campuses of Wipro, which also lends its name to the traffic junction metres ahead, had a terse ‘Office is closed today’ board, a campus hosting offices of several new age firms nearby cited the government order (GO) in a notice pasted on the main gate and said for natives of Telangana to cast their vote November 30 has been declared a paid holiday.
Tata Consultancy Service had a message from its HR-Head saying “all TCS offices in Hyderabad will remain closed in view of Telangana State Assembly elections.”
