A desperately gasping Bengaluru!
By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD
Day in and day out, for the past so many days, we have been reading reports and seeing videos about the misery that is being wreaked because of rain, on people who have chosen to live in our State capital.
As we flick through our news channels, we see people desperately bailing out muddy rainwater in one, while in another we see high-end cars almost completely submerged in their underground parking places, under high-end residential and commercial buildings. And, this is not just the result of any unusually heavy rains but something that we have been seeing there over the past few years, every time it rains normally too.
If it rains a little heavier, as it happens quite often, the rainwater will flow over your doorstep and enter your home, uninvited, making a complete mess of your life. And, the quantum of the mess that it is capable of making, is what we are seeing every passing day.
