Highlighted Comments

The planning needs to be better. Yes, maybe rain this worse this time, drainage was fucked last time as well.

Specially in Bangalore, man it is facing with some really serious water crises, water is slowly becoming an asset out here, it's high time Karnataka government must do something about this issue else we will surely get roasted.

I wish we could use this abundant fresh water for industrial output. Like semiconductor fab, Softdrink and mineral water export etc.
