inundation

Bengaluru experienced heavy rain, thunder, and lightning on Monday evening, causing severe waterlogging and massive traffic jams across multiple areas. The downpour disrupted peak-hour commutes, leaving many stranded as roads and underpasses submerged. Flight schedules to and from the city were also impacted due to the adverse weather.

Farmers in Koraput's Chandili panchayat are opposing the construction of a paddy procurement centre at Pipalahandi, citing flood risks and transportation hazards due to the site's low elevation. They have submitted a memorandum demanding the mandi be established at Chandili, where suitable government land was previously identified.

Localities such as Pattarai Medu, Kavathi, Kootapalli, Manickampalayam, Mallasamudram, Thokkavadi and Elachipalayam saw heavy rain and thunder, lightning and strong winds.
