Heavy rains and severe waterlogging around the city have caused yet another catastrophic traffic gridlock in Bengaluru. Many were forced to leave their cars and walk home because of the traffic bottleneck, which lasted for more than two hours. For hours on end, the lack of movement left many dissatisfied. Many others expressed their worries on social media.
 
One person said, "Bengaluru floods when it rains." During the monsoon, issues with infrastructure and poor drainage are usually apparent. Every year, this catastrophe occurs. "There is no chance of survival in this situation if there is a medical emergency," said another user, expressing his worries. For only two kilometers, vehicles were not moving for over two and a half hours.

Numerous footage of people moving along the flyovers while traffic was barred were shared online. Five persons were killed when a structure that was still under construction fell in one location. Bengaluru's poor city design, which includes insufficient drainage and traffic control systems, is made clear by this circumstance.
 
Even though these incidents occur annually, the authorities don't seem to be taking any significant action. The city's incapacity to control its expanding population has been made abundantly evident. Since they have asked private enterprises to permit employees to work from home and private schools to stay closed, the authorities appear to be powerless.
