The BBMP’s incompetence and the government’s obsession with superficial branding have left the city vulnerable. ‘Brand Bengaluru’ is fast becoming a joke — a brand that looks good on a brochure but collapses in 30 minutes of rain,” a social media user wrote. Other users shared images of knee-deep water and severe waterlogging on roads, particularly in areas like KR Puram.
“Heavy rain and flooding of underpasses from Nagawara towards KR Puram. Would advise people to avoid this route as there is knee-deep waterlogging. Please stay indoors if possible. #BengaluruRains #BangaloreRains,” a user posted. A mere hour of rain in a central location in North Bangalore – a city that boasts of being a tech hub without any drainage infrastructure,” another user remarked.
