Rain lashed Bengaluru on Tuesday and severely impacted the traffic situation in the city. It also caused waterlogging and flood-like situations in many areas like the Manyata Tech Park. According to a Hindustan Times report, roads within the 300-acre tech park were submerged due to the constant rainfall in the city.

The continuous downpour, that began early Tuesday morning, also prompted netizens to sarcastically call the popular tech park in the city ‘Manyata Tech Falls’.

Besides the waterfall, people also found “lakes” within Bengaluru’s Manyata Tech Park amid the continuous downpour in the city on Tuesday. The waterlogged roads within the tech park resembled lakes and caused significant traffic congestion across major routes in the city. Reportedly, Outer Ring Road and Tumkur Road in the city were some of the worst affected.

Seeing the flood-like situation, many companies inside the massive tech village instructed their employees to stay in their offices. They advised them to wait for the water to clear before leaving the premises. Keeping in mind the city’s current situation, Bengaluru’s Deputy Commissioner also declared a holiday for schools and colleges on October 16.

As per the Indian Meteorological Department’s (IMD) forecast, it will be a rainy week for Bengaluru. They predicted moderate to heavy rains till October 17 in the city.
