The video has garnered more than 37k views on the social media platform. Users have expressed their concerns about the situation in the comments section.
Many blamed the poor planning of the building for the waterlogging issue.
Another said, “It must have been built over a lake.”

“Feel sorry for you, just that nature has its ways of reclaiming,” a comment read.
According to the Meteorological Department, rain will continue for the next three days.
The heavy downpour left several roads waterlogged while basements and parking areas were flooded and vehicles were also damaged. The rain started on Wednesday evening, during the peak evening hour, which left many commuters stranded. A wall also collapsed near Majestic damaging several cars parked on the road.
Last month too, Bengaluru was hit by heavy rainfall for three consecutive days, which caused parts of the IT capital to get submerged. Roads, in the area, where global IT companies and start-ups are located were marooned and electricity supplies were knocked out.
