Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Tuesday said Bengaluru City has received unprecedented rainfall this monsoon season, which was highest in the last 90 years, and the IT corridor has been under rainwater owing to overflow of tanks and illegal encroachments and constructions of buildings, particularly in Mahadevapura ward of the City.
“See Karnataka, especially Bengaluru, received unprecedented heavy rains this year, which it had not received for the last 90 years. All the tanks are full and they are overflowing and some tanks are breached. There is continuous rain. It is raining every day,” the Chief Minister told presspersons.
