Bangalore: One person got killed when a wall collapse damaged 5 parked cars near the Bangalore's Freedom park as heavy rains caused havoc in the city.
A boy got washed away on Saturday evening as heavy rains lashed Bangalore for two consecutive days inundating low lying areas, uprooting trees in some regions and causing traffic jam on all the main roads.
Incessant rains have uprooted trees in some areas while some low lying areas including Ejipura, parts of Mysore road and Goripalya have been inundated. There has also been water logging in areas including Sriramapuram and Okalipuram, officials of Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike said.
BBMP Commissioner Siddaiah, who along with Mayor S K Nataraj visited some rain-battered areas, said senior officials were monitoring the situation and teams had been sent to drain out water from the low lying areas.
The Met department has predicted more rains over the next 24 hrs in the interior areas of south Karnataka.
