Bengaluru's ongoing monsoon has severely waterlogged at least 180 prominent roads, including key areas near Hebbal Circle and the Outer Ring Road (ORR). Despite previous warnings, including a fatal incident at the KR Circle underpass, municipal authorities have failed to address the issue. Ongoing construction projects, pothole-ridden roads, and poor drainage maintenance contribute to the problem. The situation has led to traffic chaos, vehicle damage, and safety hazards across the city.

Bengaluru, India’s IT hub, has been hit hard by heavy rains, resulting in severe waterlogging across the city. Several areas are now submerged under knee-deep water, leading to significant traffic disruptions and impassable routes for office goers. Angry netizens have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to criticize the administration and the ruling Congress government for their handling of the situation. Complaints include the administration's 'visionary plans' and BBMP's outsourcing of stormwater drainage clearance. The traffic department has issued alerts for slow traffic on key roads, advising commuters to plan alternative routes. Watch this video for a detailed look at the flooding crisis and its impact on Bengaluru.

In Lok Sabha, LoP Rahul Gandhi says "I visited Wayanad with my sister some days back and I saw with my own eyes, the pain and suffering that resulted from this tragedy. More than 200 people are dead and a huge number of people are missing. I would like to commend the work of the Union and State Govt, NDRF, SDRF, Army, Navy, Cost Guard, Fire Department and others and assistance from the neighbouring states including Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Telangana. This is a huge tragedy. I would urge the Union Govt to support a comprehensive rehabilitation package for Wayanad including building disaster-resilient infrastructure and helping the communities. I would also like to urge the Govt to declare the Wayanad landslide as a national disaster..."
