The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Heavy overnight rain on Tuesday flooded the East Corridor road connecting Budigere Cross on National Highway-75 to Devanahalli, leaving vehicle users struggling.
- Water remained on the road until Wednesday evening, forcing vehicles to move in a single direction.
- Unscientific drain work left the stormwater drains on both sides completely full, so rainwater flowed over the highway.
- Rainwater and discharge from nearby apartments filled the drains, which had no outlet, turning the road into a lake-like stretch.
- The road is a key route used by thousands of vehicles daily from Sarjapura, Varthur and Whitefield to Kempegowda International Airport, and locals are demanding that the concerned departments repair the potholes caused by repeated waterlogging.
What to watch next
- Whether the concerned departments carry out the repairs locals are demanding.
- Whether the road floods again the next time it rains heavily, given the unresolved drain problem.
