BENGALURU MUST BE MADE MORE LIVEABLE WITH SUSTAINABLE PLANS

BENGALURU, which has a high concentration of IT companies and scientific institutions, is inevitably troubled when it rains.

- 

Life gets paralysed, parts of the city get flooded, roads including flyovers become streams, homes get inundated, underpasses threaten to become death traps for motorists, trees get uprooted, and the traffic terrible even when it does not rain breaks its own congestion records. There was 52 mm of rain in the early hours of Monday which brought the city to a halt and left four school kids and two adults injured from tree falls. About the impact of flooding on the traffic, the less said the better. This is the sorry state of India's IT capital, one of its most global cities.
