Bengaluru has been seeing incessant rainfall and several areas are now battling a flood-like situation. Outer Ring Road was knee-deep in water and Bellandur lake has overflown near the outlet. Harrowing visuals are going viral on social media as citizens express their anger over the situation. Locals in Bengaluru spoke to ANI about waterlogging in the city due to heavy rains. One local said this happens every year and there has been no permanent solution. Another said they had to pump water out onto the road after it flooded their basement.
