Earlier Pune, now Bengaluru becomes another state flooded with water. Incessant rainfall has led towards flooded roads, traffic congestion and damaged cars. 

On Wednesday, Heavy rains lashed Bengaluru flooding several arterial roads in the east, south and central part of the city, including the IT zone of Bellandur. 

According to the Meteorological Department, 59 mm rainfall was recorded in Rajamahal Guttahalli in the northern part of the city. The weather office has issued a yellow alert, indicative of heavy rain, which it said will continue for the next three days.

Last month, the city grappled with unprecedented floods after rain for three straight days that set off a political tussle between the ruling BJP and the Congress.

Parts of the city where global IT companies and home-grown start-ups are located, were under water, which took days to recede. In nearby residential areas, roads were marooned and water and electricity lines snapped. Tractors were pressed into service to rescue residents in some of the posh housing colonies.

Flight operations were affected and dramatic videos of rescues, flooded roads and houses, submerged expensive cars made the rounds of social media.

Meanwhile many rain related accidents and incidents are taking place also, the city is completely submerged under water.  The common people are witnessing quite difficulties ahead of coming out of their premises.
