Bengaluru rain: Twitter is flooded too, with memes and criticism
Sep 6, 2022 3:04 AM

Bengaluru, the tech capital of India, has been lashed by torrential rain that left large parts of the city waterlogged and with no supply of drinking water. The heavy rain has crippled traffic movement and prompted employers to issue work-from-home orders for their employees.

Some of the poshest and busiest business hubs of the city like Bellandur, Whitefield, Outer Ring Road, BEML Layout, Sarjapura Road have been the most affected. Videos of people wading through knee-high water, waterlogged apartment blocks, submerged cars in basements and even visuals of Bengaluru airport being waterlogged have emerged on social media.

While some criticised the city’s administration and leaders of the state, others thanked them for providing a glimpse of Europe in India.

Thank you @CMofKarnataka @BSBommai you have developed our city to European Standards.

Some users very rightly pointed out that if you want to make it big in the tech capital of India, only coding and other technical skills will not be enough. You must learn to swim!
