Last month, Bengaluru experienced a flood-like situation after the city reeled under severe waterlogging due to incessant heavy rain which continued to affect traffic in several areas of the city.

Earlier in July, Karnataka suffered heavy floods due to rains, after which rescue missions and relief work had to be carried out. Chief Minister Bommai also had to seek financial assistance from the Centre. (ANI)
