Several areas in Bengaluru are waterlogged and roads submerged after heavy overnight rains, with traffic jams being reported at important junctions in the city. This is the second time in a week that the Karnataka state capital is witnessing such severe waterlogging.

Heavy water-logging was reported in Sarjapur Road with the parking lots of nearby buildings seen under water.
Balagere-Panathur road in Varthur has turned in to a river due to the overflowing of storm water drains. Meanwhile, in Mahadevapura, over 30 apartment complexes and their basements are waterlogged.
