In scenes that get repeated every time there is a downpour, heavy rains caused stormwater drains to overflow and flood into several homes on Thursday. Most damages were reported near Kamakya Theatre in South zone and Subramanyapura in Bommanahalli zone.
Apart from grappling with floodwater that overflowed from drains, the residents also had to deal with long hours of power shutdown.
The rains started lashing in the evening and the drains overflowed around 8.30 p.m., flooding nearly 90 homes in Kathriguppe near Kamakya Theatre. Shivu, a resident whose house was flooded, said the water level was almost five feet.
