Torrential rain impacted parts of Bengaluru in the early hours of Monday, leading to significant waterlogging and some casualties. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an orange alert (be prepared) for urban and rural areas of Bengaluru. Meanwhile, several videos showcasing the destruction surfaced on social media.
In a viral video, numerous vehicles are seen submerged in neck-deep water at an apartment complex near Yelahnka Lake, completely halting movement for residents. As the video continues, the ground of the building can be seen flooded.
“Yelahanka Lake is reminding Kendriya Vihar that apartment is on its land. After last night’s torrential rains, today’s scene. Time to demolish it and reclaim the lake property. Whoever has built it has to pay compensation to house owners,” an X user wrote.
