BENGALURU: Two labourers died while many houses were flooded due to heavy downpour in the city, authorities said.
The Meteorological department on Wednesday forecast more rains in the city for the next 24 hours.
Two labourers — Dev Vrat from Bihar and Ankit Kumar from Uttar Pradesh — drowned after the water level inside a pipeline they were laying at Ullal here increased suddenly due to heavy rains on Tuesday evening, police said.
Another labourer Trilok was lucky as he came out of the Cauvery water pipeline in time as the water level quickly rose.
Police have arrested the contractor for his alleged negligence while an inquiry is on to find out the role of the site engineer. The heavy rain wreaked havoc in the city as water gushed into houses in many low-lying areas.
