Traffic snarls at several places; ongoing roadworks add to the chaos
A day that began bright and sunny turned into a gloomy evening with heavy rains, bringing several parts of the city to a near standstill. Civic agencies on Sunday evening were inundated with complaints of flooded roads and slow-moving traffic. Flooding was reported on many key roads and junctions, including Rajarajeshwarinagar Arch, Coffee Board junction, Vittal Mallya Road, near Town Hall, Minerva Circle, Leprosy Hospital on Magadi Road, and under the railway bridge near Khoday’s Circle. At Shivajinagar Chowk area, pedestrians were seen wading through knee-deep water. Ongoing roadworks added to the chaos. “Several roads and drains in the city have been dug up. This is one of the reasons for the flooding in these areas,” sources in the BBMP said.More Related News
