Bengaluru Faces Devastating Floods After Heavy Rains, Raising Concerns Over Infrastructure. Bengaluru, India's "Silicon Valley," is submerged after heavy rainfall, with authorities on high alert for more pre-monsoon showers due to cyclonic formations over the Andaman Sea. Three people, including a 12-year-old boy, have tragically died in rain-related incidents, further exacerbating the city's flood crisis. The city received a record 100mm of rain on Monday, the heaviest since 2011, causing severe water-logging, property damage, and major traffic disruptions. Many major tech companies in Bengaluru have ordered their employees to work from home due to flooded roads and disrupted transportation. In one of the city's key IT corridors, the compound wall of the software firm i-Zed collapsed, tragically killing a 35-year-old female employee. Videos from the area show commuters wading through knee-deep water, while parked cars remain submerged on flooded streets. Authorities have identified 210 flood-prone areas and are working round the clock to alleviate the situation, despite widespread public dissatisfaction with infrastructure. Social media users have criticized the city's fragile infrastructure, with many calling Bengaluru's roads and urban planning inadequate, especially during the monsoon season. Local politicians are clashing over the crisis, with opposition BJP accusing the Congress-run state government of failing to address rain-related infrastructure issues. Experts blame poor urban planning, overdevelopment on wetlands, and the city's ongoing neglect of flood prevention measures for the recurring floods.
