    These rains are causing havoc in the city of Bengaluru. These pictures itself shows the people are going through in this flooded city. But in any case we need the rain and nobody can stop it. It is nature.

    It's the problem of builders/contractors who with the help of money construct structure where they want. No planning whatsoever. They even build up above flowing gutter...dumping mud in it.
    People prefer accomodation only in city..and not prefer to go far reason behind..overcrowded.
    In coming days..it's big menance for all. People cannot come out of there home for many days.

    The Finance Minister's prayers are too abundantly answered with flooding in Assam and the neighboring States, now shifting to the south. Arun Jaitly was counting on the good monsoon season to have a better GDP.
