Bengaluru rains: Outer Ring Road completely inundated after overnight heavy downpour

Hundreds of employees working in and around RMZ Ecospace on the Outer Ring Road (ORR) in Bengaluru had to experience the horrors of peak-hour traffic, exacerbated by inundation due to heavy overnight rain on Tuesday.

Traffic jam up to three kms could be witnessed due to water logging on either sides of the ORR. Starting from Silk Board junction to Bellandur, Marathahalli and Sarjapura Road, the ORR houses many IT and multinational companies.  (Source: Murali Kumar. K)

Traffic movement was crippled on ORR due to water from Savalakere lake overflowing into a nearby drain following rains, resulting in flooding on the roads. There was at least two to three feet of water on the ORR starting from Silk Board junction to Bellandur, Marathahalli and Sarjapura Road, making it impossible for two-wheeler riders to pass through.
