Heavy rains led to massive waterlogging at Bengaluru’s Nallurhalli metro station just days after that stretch of the metro was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Heavy rain on Tuesday evening caused waterlogging at a metro station in the 13.71 km phase II of the Bengaluru Metro. The new metro line that runs from Whitefield (Kadugodi) to Krishnarajapuram was flagged off by the PM last week and built at a cost of ₹ 4,249 crore.
Several photos and videos of the inundated Nallurhalli metro station were posted on Twitter. Waterlogging was also spotted near the ticketing counter.
