Evening rain blitz leaves Bengaluru waterlogged
BENGALURU: Heavy rain lashed Bengaluru through Tuesday evening, exposing the city’s vulnerability to waterlogging and traffic gridlocks. It also claimed the lives of four cows and a calf after a wall collapsed in Domlur on Tuesday evening.
Savitha, owner of the cows, said the cattle had been tied behind Domlur post office. The cattle shed was near a military wall, which collapsed around 7pm, following heavy rain. “Four fully grown cows and a calf have died,” she said. Fire brigade personnel and police were at the site, she added.
Several parts of the city were waterlogged, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) placing eight districts, including Bengaluru, under yellow alert.
