Rains in Bengaluru: Social media is full of visuals capturing the alarming situation across the region.
Bengaluru is battling heavy rains, causing major flooding in several areas. Several office spaces, including Manyata Tech Park, were also flooded due to incessant heavy rains. Many offices in large technology villages told employees to stay indoors and wait for flooded roads in and around the area to clear.

The first video shows a flooded area with cars stuck on the road. What is shocking is that the water flows down from the wall, making it look like a waterfall. Developer Embassy REIT said the video features properties adjacent to Manyata Tech Park.
“The development of new culverts, which are key flood mitigation measures to manage water flow, the annual desilting and raising of Nala embankments, the strategic placement of outdoor rainwater catchments, and the increased capacity to remove floodwaters from roads. “Within two to four hours, our field team ensured business continuity,” Embassy REIT said in a statement.
Another video shows a similar scene in the flooded area. It also captures cars trying to cross flooded roads.
