Following heavy rainfall in Bengaluru, Jakkur developed waterlogging, where accumulated rainwater remained on the roads and made it difficult for vehicles to travel.
It was seen in the city last night after the downpour as water covered the road and people were stuck in traffic with heavy vehicles in place as the road was not flowing.
Several roads in Jakkur were left wet after the heavy rain; the rainwater accumulated during the heavy rains left some parts of Jakkur affected. The accumulated rainwater affected vehicles moving along the road, and the vehicles moved slowly through waterlogged areas.
Waterlogging is a frequent problem in some parts of Bengaluru during periods of heavy rainfall. If rainwater remains on the road for long periods, traffic starts to slow down and commuting for two-wheelers and four-wheelers becomes very difficult.
The Jakkur situation also indicates the challenges faced by residents and commuters when rain overwhelms streets and drainage systems. Standing water reduces the road space for vehicles and increases the possibility of road accidents.
For two-wheeler riders in particular, waterlogged roads make it hard to see potholes, uneven surfaces, and other obstacles beneath the water. Cars and larger vehicles can also struggle when water has accumulated.

The heavy rain and waterlogging of the area’s infrastructure can affect not only traffic but also the daily life of people passing through it. Residents are expected to slow down at the crossroads of affected areas when the road surface is dark and visibility is reduced.
Images from Jakkur after the rain show the extent of water accumulation on the road. The scene illustrates how quickly heavy rainfall can change road conditions in Bengaluru, leaving commuters to deal with standing water even after the rain has ended.
As Bengaluru continues to experience heavy rainfall, timely drainage and removal of water are essential for smooth traffic flow. Waterlogging on busy roads can quickly become a commuting issue if rainwater does not drain away.
The Jakkur situation serves as another reminder of the impact that heavy rainfall can have on roads in Bengaluru. While the rain may subside, the water left behind can continue to affect motorists and commuters until the affected stretches are clear.
Residents and road users in the area are likely to be cautious when traveling through waterlogged areas because of the water level, making it difficult to judge how deep it has sunk. Drivers and riders are advised to exercise caution when passing through such areas.
