Bengaluru's ongoing monsoon has severely waterlogged at least 180 prominent roads, including key areas near Hebbal Circle and the Outer Ring Road (ORR). Despite previous warnings, including a fatal incident at the KR Circle underpass, municipal authorities have failed to address the issue. Ongoing construction projects, pothole-ridden roads, and poor drainage maintenance contribute to the problem. The situation has led to traffic chaos, vehicle damage, and safety hazards across the city.
