Bengaluru has received copious and unseasonal rains in the months of October and November this year, putting the infrastructure in one of India’s most populous city under pressure with large areas covered in a pile of slushy mess and motorists and pedestrians struggling to make their way through the downpour. Water logging and pot holes on roads making the experience even worse.
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP, the city’s civic body) assurances of fixing the city’s woes hasn’t delivered much on the ground for the over 12 million residents.
