Why does this city instantly become water logged in 30 seconds of rain?

New to the city and it makes no sense to me whatsoever. Having lived through all major metros in the country, Bangalore feels like a Tier-2 town covered with Tier-1 wrapping paper.

Probably because they built buildings where lakes provided natural refuge to rain water bro.

This is so true.

There is a reason why it’s a non metro city.

Oddly erected buildings and overly inflated, be it rents or groceries.

This city is not even worth the money you pay.

This was land of lakes...if I'm not wrong when Kempegowda built this city in such a way that lakes were connected and built specifically to store water.

Now the lakes are filled and buildings are raised on it, when it rains water will ofc try try follow it's path and sometimes the drainage, rajakluves are not sufficient

Heard from people that various societies across Bangalore were constructed in this manner only. Empty out lakes, fill with soil and build concrete megapolis.

I recently moved to bangalore on 1st June and literally observed the same. Almost every major street gets flooded in like 5min.

For a city where it rains so much they cant even get functional sewage systems lol. Feeling like an IT coolie paying for luxurious lives of these sarkaari babus.
