The continuous rainfall in Bengaluru has claimed five lives across the city.
Photos and videos online show how deeply the city has been affected.
Bengaluru has been dealing with heavy rainfall for the past few days. The downpour has caused a flood-like situation in many parts of the city. Roads in low-lying areas are filled with water and traffic jams have become a regular problem. Known as India’s ‘IT Hub’, the city is once again under pressure as its infrastructure struggles to hold up. Frustrated residents are posting photos and videos on social media which show how deeply Bengaluru has been affected. In the middle of this chaos, one post on Reddit is gaining attention for its sarcastic but sharp take.
A user shared a real-estate tip for people planning to buy property in Bengaluru. The post, titled “Bangalore Rain: The best real-estate Litmus test?”, has drawn reactions from many.
The post read, “If you’re considering buying property in Bangalore, forget glossy brochures and model apartments. The real test? Visit the area on a rainy day.”
“Buying property? Don’t just look for views and floor plans. Look for puddles. Look for drainage. Look for the truth. Rain doesn’t lie,” it added.
The post has triggered a flood of responses, some serious and some humorous. But most people agree with the point made.
One user remarked, “Basically can rule out most of Belandur, most of Sarjapur road, Varthur and anything south of IIM Bangalore.”
Another shared, “One of the things I’ve been doing over the last year or so – whenever I see twitter posts of flooding of an area, I mark it on my google maps under a flood category. Hopefully if and when I buy a house for myself I can avoid these areas.”
“Just open lake maps of old Bengaluru, you will get crystal clear image why some areas are constantly flooded and some areas are not. No need to even visit the place,” someone suggested.
A person agreed with the post, and noted, “I totally second this! All the make-up is off during this time and all seepages clearly visible. Main thing is, whether those properties are visitable or not during heavy rains! This is the best season to do all the searches.”
The continuous rainfall in Bengaluru has claimed five lives across the city. Among the victims was a 12-year-old boy who died in a rain-related incident. The weather department has issued an orange alert for Bengaluru. A yellow alert has also been sounded for several districts including Bagalkot, Belagavi, Dharwad, Gadag and Koppal. Meanwhile, a red alert has been announced for Coastal Karnataka, North Interior Karnataka and South Interior Karnataka due to the worsening weather conditions.
