Being in the center of the #bangalorerains, I feel people r still unaware about ground realities:
- No water restoration in societies in Bellandur for 3-4 weeks. That means not just drinking water. No water in Bathrooms. Not a single drop.
- Electricity is there...

...but on the verge of going out anytime.
- This is me sitting in Sterling society right opposite Ecospace, the water on the road is not going away since 30-40 hours. It will be 2 days by the evening. No action plan in visibility to solve this. I see govt has abandoned this area

- Societies with 2 level basement parking have cars fully submerged in water for more than 24 hours now. There is no sign of pumping out water because the source of water keeps filling the basement with more speed.
It looks like our cars are submerged in a lake for weeks...

-

...and owners shall forget about it for a month or so.

- There is no food supply or water supply given by BBMP or any authorities to help the society for last 24 hours now. We are on the mercy of delivery apps and the delivery partners. When they are assigned we are calling them

...to request to deliver this area even though they might get stuck on the flooded roads. Paying extra is not helping much. The delivery partner has to risk his vehicle safety to make sure delivery.

- The bisleri can vendors refuse to come to this side. Yesterday they were stuck kn traffic and were asked to return by traffic cops. Today they have run out of water cans.
We are picking water from society swimming pool and climbing stairs to do bare minimum.

- We are being asked to move out for 4-6 weeks as the conditions are unlivable. Sounds like a great idea?
- Our cars are submerged in water.
- Some of us have elderly, kids, pregnant women, pets. They are expecting us to walk on the flooded road with everything?! Most probably...

- There is no cab acceptance in this area because cars have high chances to get stuck in the floods.

If you are reading this, please spread the word about awareness and people suffering. I feel #Bangalore itself is unaware then one cant expect others to sympathize.

Source of data mostly from society Name- Sterling, Bellandur. I am hearing societies in Yemalur and nearby have similar problems but they have started acting on it.

Latest update: I had to evacuate society with my family. - There is no improvement in water restoration situation in society.
- It will take 4 days to pump the water out of basement parkings. that means our cars and bikes are submerged for more than a week inside flood waters

- Most of the owners are calculating once the water goes out, how much cost they have to bear for their vehicles coz it looks like our cars are wasted. Collective damage of vehicles could estimate to 1-1.5 cr. this is just one parking level.

- Lifts are not functional as of now. Most of the work can only happen once all water is out of the parking.
- There are internet issues for same reason. so people wanting to work from home are relying on mobile data. It's sad that companies are still expecting people in...

affected areas to show up for work. coz apparently they are also in denial of the situation.
- People who are inside society have to fill buckets of water and climb till 14 floors to make arrangements for daily use. Drinking water is relied upon BBMP. 1 water can per 1 apartment

- Overall there is hope. the situation will only improve little by little so we all have to be patient. I can't imagine how families with kids, elderly parents are managing with water situation.
