Heavy rain accompanied by strong winds have been reported in Bengaluru for over a week now, bringing down temperature in the city. But these incessant rains have also wreaked havoc across the state capital, uprooting trees, damaging vehicles and power cuts in many areas. One woman died earlier this week after items from a construction site fell on her following heavy winds.
From last Sunday, Bengaluru has been witnessing rain with thunder and lightning seen everyday in many parts of the city.
