Bengaluru residents woke up to inundated roads on Saturday morning as heavy rains, accompanied by thunderstorms, pounded various parts of the city through the night.
Traffic movement was disrupted on the Bengaluru-Mysuru highway between Kengeri and Kumbalagodu after Kanmanike lake overflowed on Saturday morning. Traffic police officials said hundreds of passengers travelling between Mysuru and Bengaluru were stuck in traffic for more than four hours before civic agencies cleared the waterlogged road.
Vehicle users taking Mysuru road route had a difficult time. Those travelling from Bengaluru to Mysuru, Hassan, Kodagu and Mandya were stuck in the traffic for a long time on Saturday morning.
