The city of Bengaluru is facing a tough time as the monsoon season has begun, bringing with it heavy rains that have resurfaced potholes across the city. The situation has become so severe that commuters are finding it difficult to distinguish between roads and drains. The high footfall, congested, and low-lying areas are the worst affected, with localities such as Chickpet and K.R. Market experiencing overflowing storm-water drains and flooded roads. Traders in these areas are struggling to carry out their daily activities, with transporters reluctant to enter these areas due to the poor condition of the roads. Even two-wheelers are finding it challenging to navigate through the flooded roads.
