Parts of Bengaluru were hit by heavy rain, thundershowers, gusty winds, and hailstorms, leading authorities to establish temporary monsoon control rooms across the city. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted showers, thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds for Wednesday. Unfortunately, the pre-monsoon rains have resulted in 52 fatalities between April and June, with some deaths caused by falling trees, lightning strikes, or individuals being swept away in rainwater. To address the worsening weather conditions, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has planned to set up 63 temporary monsoon control rooms at a sub-divisional level, expected to be operational by June 1. The city is also grappling with infrastructural challenges, including the emergence of sinkholes and flooded streets, posing significant risks to commuters. One such sinkhole, as deep as 4 feet, has recently formed in the BTM layout area, exacerbating traffic congestion in Bengaluru.
