The city of Bengaluru has been experiencing heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours, leading to waterlogging in several low-lying areas. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the city received approximately 40 mm of rainfall, significantly impacting daily life.
Several parts of the city, particularly those located in low-lying areas, are grappling with flooding, causing traffic disruptions and inconveniencing commuters. Roads are submerged, and water has accumulated in areas that are poorly equipped to handle such heavy rainfall.
The sudden downpour, which started in the early hours of Monday, has left residents and local authorities struggling to manage the aftermath. Officials are advising people to avoid venturing out unless necessary, especially in areas that are prone to flooding.
Weather experts have predicted that Bengaluru could see more rainfall in the coming days, urging citizens to remain alert and prepared for further disruptions.
