PoliticsBengaluru Flooding Highlights Civic Neglect and Planning Failures
Bengaluru faces recurrent flooding after heavy rains due to civic neglect and structural issues. Problems include unplanned urbanisation, unauthorised construction, and blocked drains. Underpasses lack proper drainage, causing dangerous waterlogging. In May 2023, a 22-year-old IT professional drowned in a flooded KR Circle underpass. The city struggles with predictable hardships like stranded commuters and damaged vehicles after every heavy rainfall.
