As heavy rains lashed Bengaluru on May 19, dumping 130 mm of rain within 24 hours, an
00:05
elderly man and a 12-year-old boy were electrocuted in a flooded apartment in the city's BTM layout,
00:11
a grim reminder of the civic apathy plaguing India's IT capital.
00:15
Around 6 p.m. on May 19, 63-year-old Manmohan Kamath, a resident of Madhuvan apartment near
00:20
BTM's second stage, was using an external motorized pump to remove water from his home.
00:25
Dinesh, 12-year-old son of a security guard employed at the apartment complex, was also
00:29
standing nearby.
00:31
According to police, when Kamath plugged the pump into a socket, a short circuit sparked
00:35
and both were electrocuted.
00:37
Their bodies were sent to St. John's Hospital for post-mortem.
00:40
Elsewhere in Whitefield, a 35-year-old woman was killed due to a wall collapse.
00:44
On May 19, nearly 500 homes lay submerged across Madhavpura, Aranagar, Kengeri and Kormangala.
00:51
20 of Elahanka's 29 lakes had burst their banks, sending water rushing into neighbouring streets.
00:56
The State Disaster Response Force deployed boats in Sai Layout, Maratalli and Iblur Junction
01:01
to rescue stranded residents.
01:03
The IMD has issued a yellow alert for Bengaluru and surrounding districts.
01:07
Yet while the city grappled with deaths and destruction, the Siddharamaya government was
01:10
seen celebrating two years in power on May 20, a move that was criticised by the opposition.
01:16
Five deaths happened in Karnataka.
01:18
On the deaths of Karnataka citizens, they are doing a big rally.
01:26
