India, April 3 -- A 30-minute spell of heavy rain on Thursday was enough to throw parts of Bengaluru into chaos, as several areas grappled with severe waterlogging. Among the worst-hit locations was Tavarekere Main Road, where viral videos on social media showed residents wading through knee-deep water, reigniting concerns over the city's crumbling infrastructure.

BTM Layout residents took to social media, sharing visuals of submerged streets and calling out civic authorities for their inaction. "Tavarekere Main Road #btmlayout #bangalorerains #brandbengaluru @DKShivakumar @RLR_BTM just 30 min rain and this is the condition. What's happening with our tax-paid money??" read one post, demanding accountability from city leaders.

Frustratio...
