Several tech companies in Bengaluru, including Google, Walmart, IBM, and Accenture, have asked their employees to work from home on September 26 due to a bandh called by farmers' and pro-Kannada organizations over the Cauvery water dispute with Tamil Nadu. Public transport is expected to be affected, but metro services will continue as usual. Some private schools have shifted classes online. However, there is confusion about who is supporting the bandh on which day, as some organizations have called for a Karnataka bandh on September 29.
