Bengaluru marooned: Major roads, residential areas, tech parks inundated again

Heavy overnight rains on Sunday exposed the chinks in the civic infrastructure again, as familiar scenes of major arterial roads facing flood-like situations repeated on Monday, throwing life out of gear for the second time in a week.

This time, not just the Outer Ring Road (ORR), Bellandur, but various parts of the city were also flooded, despite the civic authorities having begun the repair of storm-water drains (SWDs) after Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai's instructions recently.

The most affected areas were Bellandur, Sarjapur, Whitefield, ORR, J.P. Nagar, BEML Layout, Varthur, Balagere Road, Mekhri Circle, K.R. Puram, Hennur, and Hebbal.
