Heavy Rains Cause Waterlogging and Traffic Disruptions Across Bengaluru
Bengaluru experienced heavy rains for the second consecutive day, causing widespread waterlogging and traffic disruptions across multiple city areas including MG Road, Electronic City, and Richmond Circle. Key infrastructure like the Ejipura flyover and railway routes were affected, leading to significant delays. Despite the city's known flood-prone zones and existing drainage systems, waterlogging persists due to factors like blocked drains and rapid urbanization. Authorities, including the Greater Bengaluru Authority, deployed teams to clear affected areas, but residents reported prolonged water stagnation and traffic congestion.
