BENGALURU: Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda on Tuesday inspected the flood-affected areas in Tata Nagar here. Incessant heavy rain has led to severe waterlogging in the city.
Visuals from Allalsandra in Yelahanka showed residents facing problems caused by waterlogging. The labourers in the area have also been affected by the heavy rain.
“The situation here right now is very bad. It has been raining here since yesterday evening. We are poor labourers and come here to work. We have no work because of the heavy rain”, said a worker.
A resident of the area complained that no government help had arrived and the closed drainage system in the area only worsened things. “No government help has come here. The drainage system is also closed for the last two months which has led to more waterlogging here. All the water from the river comes in here. No one can be held responsible. What are we supposed to do now?” said the local.
The Indian Meteorological Department has issued an alert for heavy rainfall in south-interior and coastal Karnataka from October 23 to October 26. (ANI)
