His comments come amidst severe criticism from the opposition for alleged poor infrastructure in the city that failed to prevent the chaos due to rains.

He stated that he had instructed officials to take up remodelling and de-silting of clogged stormwater drains (SWDs).

“Today, we have received unexpected rainfall—104 mm in the last 24 hours. Many areas in Bengaluru were affected,” Siddaramaiah told reporters after receiving updates from Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officials.
