Amid Heavy Rains In Bengaluru, Twitter Poured In Memes As City’s Roads & Posh Areas Waterlogged

Bengaluru, the Indian city which is famous for being the IT hub of the country is currently in news for all the wrong reasons as majority of the city is waterlogged after heavy rains.

Though Bengaluru is known for its pleasant weather, currently its citizens are living under very tough conditions as there is no electricity and no drinking water supply in many areas (Kormangala, Whitefield, Bellandur, HSR Layout, Sarjapur, etc.) of the city.

Many videos are getting circulated on the social media platforms in which roads, posh societies, etc. can be seen submerged in water. The office going people are facing a lot of problems as they can’t take leave because the work will get affected and it is taking 2-3 hours for them to reach office. In fact in few videos, it can be seen that tractors and JCBs are being used for transport purposes.

If that was not enough, even boats are used in some areas for the purpose of providing necessary items such as milk and grocery to people.

Some people are of the opinion that the nature is giving it back to the citizens of Bengaluru as they have occupied the space of lakes of the city.
