    Just imagine with 3 hours of rains the entire smart City Manganauru looks like a river; what would happen if it rained continuosly for 24 hours with 1000 mm rainfall as it happened in Mumbai once? This is a warning bell for people who buy flats on the ground floor or setup businesses in the basements about the risk of incurring heavy losses!! BTW, the repeated heavy flooding on the national highway near First Neuro is shocking!!

    You know what Rudy sir, because of the flood near pumpwell bridge, one bengaluru bus got stuck...water went into the engine.....and got spoilt. Luckily, it reached till pumpwell. People reached their destination....But, as per the confirmed news, bus is still there till 3.30pm ( now we dont know) and mechanics trying to repair the engine....see every year same problem....why cant find out the fault on the road and start repairing work? Why to leave like that ? Very careless behavior. After one student got fractured her hand, some of the potholes are filled. Rest are lying there keeping their mouth wide open to catch the innocent travelers...

    This is Nature at her furious best. Just saw a report where on the way to the funeral for the slain BJP activist, strangers have set fire to vehicles and vandalized shops of unconnected people of other religions, just yesterday. And today, this! The shops in Attavar belong to who? Who has destroyed? I dare these BJP people to go and vandalise Nature and take revenge. The murder of Fasil was utterly senseless, he had no connection to the death of the BJP activist. If the BJP yuvas want to take revenge, take it against Narendra, Amit and Bommai. How can they live in comfort when young people are senselessly being killed, because they have followed their pathway. If they have the guts, do that. Mard bano, dard mat saho, apne ghar ka bhediya pehchano.
