Streets waterlogged, apartment basements flooded, and residents stranded—it's a familiar story for Bengaluru, with no real solutions in sight and an endless cycle of blame. Residents of Kendriya Vihar Apartments in Yelahanka experienced this civic neglect firsthand when heavy rains left the entire locality submerged. Boats had to be deployed to rescue stranded residents, and the National Disaster Response Force was called in to assist with relief operations. Yelahanka wasn't the only area affected. Many other parts of Bengaluru faced similar flooding. Karnataka Revenue Minister Krishna Byregowda inspected the flood-affected areas to assess the situation. However, the city's challenges go beyond just waterlogging. In Varthur, a specially-abled woman fell off her scooter after encountering a pothole-riddled road. Fortunately, passersby came to her aid. In another incident on Hennur-Bagalur Road, a commuter flipped off their scooter while navigating potholes. Residents of Varthur took to the streets to protest the pothole menace, demanding accountability from politicians and civic authorities. The Siddaramaiah government blamed the rains for the potholes, but opposition parties, BJP and JDS, accused the Congress government of misusing taxpayer funds. The blame game continues, but Bengaluru's residents are left suffering amidst civic apathy.
