The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagar Palike (BBMP) has announced ₹10,000 compensation each for the families whose homes were flooded in the recent rain. The civic body has identified 1,064 houses that were flooded in Mahadevapura zone and announced the compensation.
BBMP officials said: “We have surveyed the flooded area in our zone and found that 1,064 houses have been flooded, and they have also lost a lot of goods and groceries. We will be releasing the compensation fund soon,” the official added.
In May this year, the BBMP released compensation to 3,311 households in Bengaluru that were flooded and suffered damages during the rains that month. A compensation of ₹25,000 was announced by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who also holds charge of the city. That was the first time the civic body of Bengaluru paid compensation for flooding of homes due to rains.
