Bengaluru Road Flooding

Heavy Rains Flood Bengaluru Roads and Disrupt Peak-Hour Traffic Across the City

Heavy rain and repeated showers flooded roads, underpasses and low-lying areas across Bengaluru, disrupting peak-hour traffic and leaving some commuters facing journeys twice as long. East Bengaluru—including parts of the Outer Ring Road, Marathahalli, Kadubeesanahalli and Karthik Nagar—was among the hardest hit, with waterlogging also reported in Thanisandra, Hebbal, Whitefield and other areas; fallen trees and vehicle breakdowns added to congestion. The India Meteorological Department forecast more rain, possible thunderstorms and gusty winds across parts of Karnataka, and issued yellow alerts for six districts. Bengaluru officials ordered round-the-clock control rooms, response teams, pumps and workers to address flooding and clear fallen trees, while traffic police advised caution and avoiding unnecessary travel during intense rain.
