Residents of several localities in south and east Bengaluru woke up to a nightmare, with roads leading out of their residences marooned waist-deep rainwater Bengaluru woke up to flash floods in several localities on Wednesday after a night of unprecedented heavy rainfall left a trail of destruction in the city. “The downpour in just three hours was so heavy that storm water drains could not take the load, resulting in water overflowing on to several roads and inundating low-lying areas,” Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palika commissioner Manjunatha Prasad was quoted as saying. City Mayor G Padmavathi said, “BBMP officials have been ordered to clean the drains and respond to public issues immediately.” Civic officials used makeshift boats on Tuesday to rescue the stranded residents in some areas while power outages led to blackouts for hours since early morning in several areas. Scientist CN Prabhu of the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre said the weather monitoring system could not predict the heaviest rainfall in the city in 127 years.
