The met department has forecast more rains in the coming days. 

Bengaluru hits 41-degree mark

Once known for its climate, the garden city is soon shedding that tag. A few days ago, a few parts of Bengaluru experienced heat measured at 41-degree celsius. 

Disruption in water supply

Lack of rains had also contributed to disruption of the supply of water. People were forced to depend on tankers to meet their daily needs. That also meant the tanker mafia was thriving, with skyrocketing prices. 

With more rains predicted, the temperatures will come down and make the lives of our people easier.
