‘We are supporting him...': TCS responds after employee filmed sleeping outside Pune office over ‘unpaid wages'

India's largest IT company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), on Monday said that it is in talks with the employee who was spotted sleeping outside the company's Pune office premises as a form of protest. The company's statement comes after pictures of a TCS employee named Sourabh More sleeping in front of the TCS office in Pune went viral on social media. The viral post showed a person sleeping on the footpath with a note in front of him, which claimed that the IT company had not paid him for months. More, in a handwritten letter, claimed that he informed the company's HR that he does not have money and claimed that, as the salary has not been credited, he will be forced to sleep and live outside (on the footpath) of the company's Pune office. 'I have informed HR I don't have money and will be forced to sleep and live outside TCS on footpath,' said More in the letter. The letter also claimed that the company told More that he would receive his salary by 31 July 2025, but due to the alleged lack of response from the company, he was forced to take to the streets. A social media account named beingpunekarofficial shared the photo of the employee sleeping on the footpath on Saturday, 2 August 2025. The post, since then, has received more than 15,000 reactions on Instagram. In an official statement to Hindustan Times, TCS said that Sourabh More's salary payment was temporarily stopped after he allegedly took 'unauthorised' leave from work, as part of the company's standard procedure. It also said that the employee has not reported back to the company, requesting for a reinstatement. TCS has also reportedly provided him with the accommodation and support in addressing the situation in a fair and constructive manner. 'This is a case of unauthorised absence where the employee has been absent from office. In accordance with standard procedure, payroll was suspended during this period. The employee has now reported back and requested reinstatement. We have provided him accommodation for now and are supporting him in addressing his situation in a fair and constructive manner,' a TCS spokesperson told the news portal.

Akshay Kumar earns Rs 110 crore in just 7 months without a single shot on camera, here's how

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has been busy at the box office in 2025, with three films already hitting theatres in the first six months and more lined up. But away from the silver screen, he's been making big moves in real estate. Over the last seven months, the actor has earned a staggering Rs 110 crore — all from selling his properties. Which high-profile property was sold? According to IndexTap documents, Akshay and his wife, Twinkle Khanna, sold their plush apartment in the Oberoi Three Sixty West project, located in Mumbai's Worli, for Rs 80 crore. This luxury property was one of the most talked-about transactions in the city's real estate circles this year. What about his Borivali apartments? As per Square Yards documents, Akshay sold multiple units in Oberoi Sky City, Borivali (East). A 3BHK apartment measuring 1,073 sq ft went for Rs 4.25 crore. Another 3BHK unit, with two parking spaces, fetched Rs 4.35 crore in March 2025. Two connected residential properties in the same complex sold for Rs 7.10 crore. Two more apartments were sold for Rs 6.60 crore in total — one priced at Rs 5.35 crore and the other at Rs 1.35 crore. Did he sell any commercial space? Yes. According to Hindustan Times, Akshay sold his office located in One Place Lodha Complex, Lower Parel, for Rs 8 crore earlier this year. Why is this making news? In just a few months, Akshay has made multiple high-value real estate deals, making him one of the most active celebrity property sellers of the year. While his films continue to pull crowds, his knack for strategic investments and timely sales is proving equally headline-worthy. From luxury apartments in Worli to prime commercial space in Lower Parel and multiple residential units in Borivali, Akshay Kumar's property portfolio has undergone a serious reshuffle in 2025, with Rs 110 crore flowing in from sales alone.

Integration of metro and suburban stations on rlys' agenda

Mumbai: With at least four new metro rail lines slated to open partially by the end of the year, top officials from the Indian Railways will hold a joint meeting on Monday to discuss ways of integrating suburban railway stations with the metro and other major modes of transport. The meeting will focus on measures to ensure multi modal integration (MMI), especially at railway stations that merge with the metro network, and aim to bypass the problems encountered at stations like Andheri and Ghatkopar which currently have interchange facilities, top railway officials told Hindustan Times. A crowded Ghatkopar station which connects to the metro station (Satish Bate/HT PHOTO) Monday's meeting, to be chaired by Satish Kumar, chairman and chief executive officer of the Railway Board, will be held at the Central Railway's headquarters at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT). It will be attended by officers from the Central Railway, Western Railway, Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation, Rail Land Development Authority and Dedicated Freight Corridor. 'The thrust will be on MMI,' a senior railway official said about the upcoming meeting, on condition of anonymity. 'Advance planning and redesigning is required for railway stations that will merge with the metro network, else we may see a repeat of the chaos witnessed at Ghatkopar and Andheri stations due to unplanned connectivity.' Among the four metro lines that are slated to be operational by year-end, line 2B will merge with railway stations at Bandra, Kurla and Mankhurd, line 4 will merge with the Kanjurmarg and Kurla railway stations, line 5 will merge with Kalyan, while line 6 will merge with Jogeshwari and Kanjurmarg stations. Elevated decks measuring 6.43 lakh square feet – the equivalent of nearly six Azad Maidans – are being constructed over all suburban stations on the Western and Central Railways networks at a cost of ₹947 crore. These decks will decongest overcrowded stations by accommodating ticket counters, toilets, food stalls and commercial spaces, apart from providing connectivity with metro stations where they merge with the suburban network. On Saturday, Satish Kumar and other rail officials inspected the elevated deck at Khar station, which measures more than 5,000 square meters, and is connected to Bandra Terminus via a skywalk, which is an important component of MMI, said officials. 'The inspection helped us understand the possibility of adopting similar measures at other stations under the Amrit Bharat Station Development Scheme,' said a Western Railway official. The findings are likely to be discussed during Monday's meeting, which will feature a handful of powerpoint presentations, the official said. 'We will be discussing travel patterns at railway stations, including current footfall, availability of interchange with the metro and circumstances outside stations,' said another official. 'We need to understand the potential surge in footfall when two mass transit systems intersect.' Apart from integrating railway and metro stations, MMI will feature wide footpaths outside stations, pedestrian crossings, signages and designated parking bays for buses, autos, cars, and aggregators cabs. These facilities will be located within a 500-metre radius of metro stations, said officials.
