Bengaluru: Heavy downpour in the early hours on Saturday led to flooding in several parts of the city. Roads were inundated and water gushed into many houses in low-lying areas such as Koramangala, HSR Layout and Anugraha Layout. Cars and two-wheelers in the basement of apartments in low-lying areas were submerged. The department said a north-south trough coupled with cyclonic circulation above the Gulf of Munnar caused rains in south Karnataka, especially around Bengaluru. The department has predicted heavy rains in the city in the next 48 hours.
