Here’s a brief glimpse of what’s being done to tackle the situation:

1. Holiday has been declared for schools as well as secondary schools in parts of Bengaluru as a weighty downpour keeps on lashing the city. Many areas of Bengaluru actually stay lowered.
2. Numerous tech organizations have advised the employees to work from home, as significant tech parks in suburbia stay immersed because of spilling over lakes and stormwater channels.
3. State Information Technology Minister Ashwat Narayan is set to hold a gathering with heads of the IT area in Vidhan Sabha at 5 pm today to examine the flood in the IT passageway.
4. The heavy downpour prompted the topping off of 162 lakes completely filling up.
5. As a weighty downpour lashed the city, Chief Minister Bommai on Tuesday accused the "maladministration" of the past Congress government of the circumstance. They have given consent for development exercises "right-left-focus" in the lake regions and on the tank bunds and support zones, he said.

In a tragic accident, a 23-year-old woman also died due to the heavy downpour. The woman’s passing because of electric shock subsequent to slipping on a waterlogged road in downpour hit Bengaluru has set off a shock, with many scrutinizing the Karnataka government for blunder and carelessness. The deceased, recognized as Akhila, coincidentally interacted with a live electric post close to the Whitefield region in the city, when she was getting back on her scooty on Monday night.

Akhila's family members have accused carelessness by community specialists and the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM) of her demise. As insight about the coincidental demise spread, there was shock and outrage against the public authority via virtual entertainment. Here’s what people said:

This was the 1st demise reported in the IT center point, which has been seriously affected by a short-term deluge that caused lakes and stormwater channels to spill over and immerse low-lying regions. Water-signing in regions like Rainbow Drive format, Sunny Brooks Layout, and a few regions on Sarjapur Road was so much that work vehicles and boats were utilized to ship understudies and office participants in the morning.

Tushar Girinath, BBMP Commissioner, expressed his condolences and said, “It is unfortunate that we lost a life. We don't know how she got electrocuted. We have appointed an electric inspector who will investigate and submit a report. Bengaluru witnessed this kind of rain after 1998. Bengaluru East that is Mahadevapura Constituency was flooded due to unprecedented area”.

Girinath ji further added, “Bengaluru witnessed this kind of rain after 1998. Bengaluru East that is Mahadevapura Constituency was flooded due to an unprecedented area. It is a low-line area, and many of them encroached on the stormwater drain there. We are trying to set things right. We will demolish illegal encroachment in the days to come”.

Bengaluru is reeling under serious waterlogging because of unending weighty downpours which went on for the second day on Tuesday. The weighty storm has prompted traffic growls in a few pieces of the city, leaving houses and vehicles somewhat immersed. However, this isn't new.

India's IT center Bengaluru is brought to its knees consistently because of floods set off by downpours. Here's the reason

Bengaluru got more than 13 cm of precipitation on 5th September with certain areas getting up to 18 cm. This extreme precipitation is credited to a shear zone that has been created in southern Karnataka, immersing Bengaluru inside its ambit. A shear zone is a stormy weather pattern with restricting breezes bringing weighty downpour bearing mists over an area.

The essential explanation is that the stormwater channels that are laid across Bengaluru are old, rotted, and need limit. Precipitation of 5-10 cm is sufficient to have channels overflowing.

A new report recorded these potential causes behind regular flooding in Bengaluru:

• Loss of interconnectivity among lakes
• Infringement of flood fields and wetlands
• Limiting and concretizing storm water channels hindering hydrological elements of the normal channels
• Decrease of spaces, wetlands, and, vegetation
• Expanded cleared surfaces in the city because of spontaneous flighty urbanization

Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai said his administration has taken everything up as a test to re-establish the downpour battered city and ensure such things don't repeat from now on. He, in any case, accused the past Congress states' 'mal-administration', as the explanation for the city's condition.

He stated, “We have cleared lots of encroachments and we will continue to clear them. We are installing sluice gates to the tanks so that they can be managed better. I have instructed officials to ensure that the control room works 24/7. We have started dewatering in most of the areas. Other than one or two areas almost all areas have been dewatered”.

Addressing the media, the Karnataka Chief Minister said an image is being depicted that the whole city is confronting troubles, which isn't true. "Fundamentally the issue lies in two zones, especially the Mahadevapura zone because of reasons like the presence of 69 tanks in that little region and practically every one of them have either penetrated or are spilling over, also, all foundations are in low lying regions, and the third is infringements," he listed out.

CM Bommai added, “Now I have taken it up as a challenge. I have given ₹1,500 crores for the development of stormwater drains, I yesterday released ₹300 crores to remove all encroachments and do a pucca structure along the stormwater drains and for the infrastructure so that there are no impediments and bottlenecks in the flow of water”.

We at CheckBrand calculated that CM Bommai gained a digital engagement of 87.1K in the past 7 days. His digital value was reported to be 1.16 crores with a digital ranking at 23 in the CMs category. He has received 4.8% positive and 23.9% negative audience sentiments amidst the worsening conditions in Bengaluru. CheckBrand also calculated his Search Engine Score which was summed up at 2732 as of 7th September 2022.
