It’s shocking to see the newly inaugurated Nallurhalli Metro Station has water seeping with just one rain.

The sorry state of the drainage system in Bangalore would leave Bangaloreans planning to buy a boat during the rainy season.
For last mile connectivity, @bbmp should arrange boats.

A Twitterati even got Dhoom 3 in the picture!
They need to arrange something like the vehicle used in dhoom 3 that can be converted to vehicle for use in rivers.

Meanwhile, India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that Bangalore will receive rainfall and thunderstorms till April 6. Be ready to stay indoors or carry raincoats and umbrellas, especially during evenings and nights as those are the times you can expect heavy rainfall in the city. Also, these rains are expected to bring down the temperatures.
