Here are top 10 developments in this big story
Following two days of heavy rain that threw up scenes of flooded neighbourhoods and boats rescuing residents, water levels dropped in several areas this morning. Traffic flow has now started returning to normal after waterlogged roads led to kilometres-long congestion.
However, residents are concerned over the forecasts of more rain. The weather department has predicted light to moderate rain in the city and said a downpour is "very likely".
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has sought fair compensation from the centre, saying that the state government has prepared a memorandum on rain damage estimate.
Karnataka Minister CN Ashwathnarayan will meet representatives of several IT companies this afternoon to discuss problems they are facing due to unprecedented rains in the city.
The meeting will be attended by Chief Secretary Vandita Sharma, Chief Commissioner of Bengaluru civic body Tushar Giri Nath, officials of the city's water authority and Urban Development department, and the police commissioner CH Pratap Reddy.
Representatives of Infosys, Wipro, Nasscom, Goldman Sachs, Intel, Tata Consultancy Services and Philips are among those who will attend the meeting, the minister told news agency ANI.
The waterlogging led to power cuts and disrupted water supplies in several areas of the city. Borewells are being used to fill the supply gap in affected areas. In other localities, tankers deployed by the state government are at work.
A 23-year-old woman died of electrocution during the waterlogging in the city. Akhila, who worked in a school's administration department, was returning home when her scooter skidded. She tried to grab an electric pole to avoid a fall and received an electric shock.
The waterlogging in the city, for the second time in a week, has put the spotlight back on unplanned urbanisation and encroachment that have choked drainage points.
The government has now swung into action. Chief Minister Basavaraj S Bommai has said a sum of Rs 1,500 crore has been earmarked to drain water out of the city and another Rs 300 crore to remove encroachment. The Chief Minister has blamed the previous JDS-Congress government, saying that they gave building permissions "right, left and centre".
