Bengaluru East and North Corporations Intensify Flood-Mitigation Measures After Heavy Rain

Following heavy rain, the Bengaluru East and North city corporations have intensified flood-mitigation measures, identifying vulnerable locations and deploying temporary pumps. Officials are examining the cause of waterlogging and coordinating on long-term solutions, addressing issues like railway works and disconnected stormwater drains. Permanent measures proposed include a larger pipe and gradient correction at the Hoodi railway underpass, and a new culvert near the Geddalahalli railway bridge on Hennur–Bagalur Road. Additionally, a 1.6-km canal linking Veerannapalya Service Road with the main Hebbal channel was completed, addressing chronic flooding near Manyata Tech Park and the Outer Ring Road.
