pounded the city. The wind touched a speed of 20-25 kmph.

Water gushed into many under-bridges, houses in low-lying areas, and a lot of damaged roads and tree falling was reported from the city, causing inconvenience to people. Traffic jams were also reported across the city till midnight due to water logging at many places.

Several vehicles were stranded for hours from Rajajeshwarinagar gate to Kengeri due to the breakdown of a bus and a lorry. A similar situation was witnessed at Majestic, Rajarajeshwari Nagar and Okalipuram.
