Premji no to CM request for ‘vehicle movement’ through Wipro campus

Wipro founder chairman Azim Premji has declined Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s request to allow limited vehicular movement through the company’s campus in Bengaluru, saying that it is an exclusive private property owned by a listed company, not meant for public thoroughfare.

He also said that allowing public vehicular movement through Wipro’s Sarjapur campus will cause “significant legal, governance, and statutory challenges”.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had on September 19 written to Premji to explore “the possibility of allowing limited vehicular movement through the Wipro campus, subject to mutually agreed terms and necessary security considerations”.
