On record
The Panathur underpass in east Bengaluru flooded yet again after overnight rain in September 2026, despite recent road-widening and upgrade work, because side-drain work was left incomplete and roadside drains remain open, leaving vehicle-movement infrastructure without the drainage needed to function during heavy rain.
The official record states: "Not specified."

“Waded through the Panathur underpass after one night of rain, on a stretch they widened only recently.”
“The road works are finished and the side drains are not, which tells you everything about the order of operations.”
“Connects Panathur, Balagere, Gunjur and Varthur to the Outer Ring Road, and holds water better than it holds traffic.”
