The heavy rain that lashed the city on Tuesday night left most low-lying areas and even key arterial roads inundated, throwing life out of gear. It was only by Wednesday evening that water on the roads receded or was pumped out, which essentially meant traffic snarls through the day.
The retention wall of Vrishabhavathi valley on Mysuru Road breached in some locations leading to flooding. Many SWDs overflowed and flooded streets.
With water levels not receding even the next day, civic and fire officials had to deploy motors to pump out water.
