VIDEO PRODUCER: Varsha Rani VIDEO EDITOR: Abhishek Sharma and Pawan Kumar Nightlong heavy rains in Bengaluru on Tuesday, 17 May, threw normal life out of gear and caused waterlogging in
several parts of the city. We have been living in Mahadevpura for the last five years. Every year, however, our house gets flooded when there is heavy rainfall, causing damage to woodwork,
furniture, and electrical appliances. On the night of 17 May, when the rain started, it hardly took an hour or so for our house to get flooded. This property was developed by providing
proper stormwater drainage which took the water to the lake nearby. However, a tech park has come in the last 5 years and they have blocked the channel of water that flows from our complex
to the lake.
