Heavy Rain in Bengaluru: Traffic Snarls on THESE Roads; Whitefield, KR Puram Among Worst-Hit - See Advisory

Bengaluru Rains: Bengaluru was battered by heavy rain on Wednesday, throwing large parts of the city into chaos. Widespread waterlogging, slow-moving traffic and flooded intersections turned the evening commute into a nightmare for thousands of residents.

The downpour, which began around late afternoon, quickly overwhelmed several stormwater drains, particularly in central, eastern and northern parts of the city. The Bengaluru Traffic Police and local traffic stations issued multiple advisories urging commuters to exercise caution and avoid severely affected stretches.

Authorities flagged a long list of roads and neighbourhoods that experienced traffic delays due to flooding:

K R Pura to Benniganahalli Metro Station: Severe congestion due to rainwater accumulation.

Halasoor to K R Pura: Heavy traffic following waterlogging in the area.

Marathahalli to Ibbalur: Slow-moving traffic reported after intense rainfall.

Hebbal to City Centre: Vehicles are moving at a crawl due to road flooding.

Belathur to Hopefarm: Waterlogging near Hopefarm has led to delays.

Kuvempu Circle to Bhadrappa Layout: Rainwater has pooled on the roads, causing sluggish traffic.

Siddapura to Varthur Kodi: Waterlogged roads continue to cause traffic snarls.

Hennur to Geddalahalli: Traffic is moving slowly due to standing water.

Thanisandra to Heggade Nagar: Flooded sections are causing congestion.

CBI Junction to Airport Road: Another stretch witnessing delays.

Udaya TV Junction to Jayamahal: Vehicles are inching forward amid flooding.

Jaymall to Content Junction: Traffic continues to build up here.

Thubarahalli to Siddapura Road: Heavy waterlogging reported, slowing traffic considerably.

Kodigehalli Gate to Sahakar Nagar: Another key stretch experiencing water buildup.

Rain-affected areas around the Whitefield Traffic Police Station limits saw particularly heavy disruption. Traffic officers were deployed on the ground to assist commuters and manage vehicle flow.

The Bengaluru Traffic Police have advised all motorists to avoid unnecessary travel in flooded zones and to dial 112 for any emergencies or assistance.

“Rain is affecting road conditions and slowing down traffic in and around Whitefield. We are on the ground assisting commuters and managing the flow,” the department posted on social media.

Residents are being urged to stay updated with traffic advisories and weather alerts as more showers are expected through the week.
