Statewide, rainfall is expected to continue across Karnataka until April 12. The coastal and Malnad regions are likely to witness heavy rainfall, which could bring much-needed relief to farmers grappling with dry conditions. However, officials have warned of possible rain-induced damage and power outages in some areas.
Last week in Bengaluru, a 30-minute spell of heavy rain was enough to throw parts of the city into chaos, as several areas grappled with severe waterlogging. Among the worst-hit locations was Tavarekere Main Road, where viral videos on social media showed residents wading through knee-deep water, reigniting concerns over the city’s crumbling infrastructure.
Frustration mounted as citizens criticized the government for failing to improve drainage systems. One social media user pointed out, "Our tax-paid money, including future generations’ presumptive taxes, is being invested into car-only tunnel roads. When the tunnel road is built (if at all), stormwater will naturally find a convenient path to drain. Please thank our efficient BBMP."
