Bengaluru Rain: Torrential Rain Leads To Flooded Roads, Waterlogging Reported In Multiple Areas

Bengaluru traffic police issued an alert for commuters in the northern part of the city following heavy rainfall on Monday afternoon. The downpour resulted in significant waterlogging in multiple areas, prompting authorities to advise drivers to use alternative routes. Civic body workers and police officers are actively working to clear the waterlogged streets.

Traffic Updates After Heavy Rain

In a post on X, RT Nagar police stated, "Slow-moving traffic due to water logging On CBI Flyover towards Airport road Kindly co-operate." Traffic was also heavily impacted at Hennur junction because of the water accumulation. Other affected areas include Hebbal Service Road, Jayamahal Road near White Petals Back Gate towards Mekhri Circle, Windsor Manor Down Ramp towards Palace Guttahalli, and Nagavara junction.

Waterlogging has caused slow-moving traffic at several key points across the city. These include Hebbal PS towards the City and Hebbal down ramp towards the city. The Devanagari underpass has been closed for vehicular movement due to severe waterlogging.

East Bengaluru Also Affected

Meanwhile, east Bengaluru experienced heavy rain as well, leading to anticipated traffic congestion on Outer Ring Road. Traffic police have been stationed at critical junctions and bottlenecks to manage the congestion and ensure smoother vehicle movement throughout the city.

The authorities are urging residents to cooperate and follow their instructions to mitigate further disruptions. Efforts are ongoing to clear the waterlogged areas as quickly as possible.

The situation remains challenging, but with coordinated efforts from civic workers and police officers, normalcy is expected to be restored soon. Commuters are advised to stay updated on traffic conditions through official channels.
