Many social media users shared the sight of waterlogged roads and slammed the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike for mismanagement. Sharing a string of photos, a user wrote, “Just a reminder that Bengaluru didn’t get rains close to 6 months till April. Thank you BBMP. Just goes on to show your care & love for the people & preparedness to face rains in the city. Wasn’t 6 months sufficient to get the city ready for rains? One spell of #BengaluruRains & the most roads in the city are waterlogged.”
