Blug.. blug.. from flooded Bangalore


After Mumbai, it is now the turn of Bangalore to be lashed by torrential rains and get flooded.
The political establishment more concerned about power politics has continually neglected the infrastructure of Bangalore or modified it to suit their requirements.

When Mother Nature has unleashed a deluge of rain on it, the already crumbling infrastructure of Bangalore has been washed away.

Now will start the blame game among politicians.

Inadequate drainage, unplanned growth, illegal encroachments on lake beds, and a host of other factors have led to this situation. Read an article of mine from much earlier (July 31st, 2005) for more details- http://sunilpichamuthu.blogspot.com/2005/07/bangalore-and-floods.html

You can view pictures of flooded Bangalore at my photo blog. Some photos have been contributed courtesy Niju.

IT companies maybe able to log out from a flooded Bangalore, but hapless residents bogged down in water-logged streets and homes have to contend with a slack political establishment whose view appears to be.. "Water-logged? Give them a net and let them fish!"
