TIL Desk/National/Bengaluru/ Several areas in Bengaluru are waterlogged and roads submerged after heavy overnight rains. Waterlogging led to traffic jams and disrupted the normal life in several parts of Bengaluru including Koramangala.
This is the second time in a week that the Karnataka state capital is witnessing such severe waterlogging. One of the locals said that waterlogging has taken place due to heavy rainfall and it has made driving very difficult.
“Too much rain has taken place. We woke up in the morning and saw that waterlogging had started. Water on the road had come up to the level of the divider. After that, we started pumping water out of the road and basement. My whole basement has got submerged under water,” a local resident said.
Earlier in July, Karnataka suffered heavy floods due to rains, after which rescue missions and relief work had to be carried out. Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai also had to seek financial assistance from the Centre.
