Authorities in the Indian city of Bengaluru used tractors on Tuesday to rescue residents of posh housing estates marooned by floods as army teams were sent in after two days of torrential rain in the technology hub.
The state government of Karnataka, of which Bengaluru is the capital, announced about 3 billion rupees ($38 million) in relief support to manage the damage from flooding as many parts of the city where several global companies and domestic startups are based were under water.
