Mysuru: When Mysuru went to sleep last night, it had received anywhere between 40 to 45 mm rain within a span of around eight hours. When it woke up this morning, there was a trail of destruction. The entire Srirampura, bordering the Manandavadi Road was submerged and over 134 houses were inundated. Residents had to be rescued using boats, a sight, which has never been witnessed in the history of the city.
Probably for the first time in the history of this heritage city, almost all the lakes surrounding it breached, inundating the residential areas. The overnight rain flooded several parts of the city, submerging parking lots, basements and entire road stretches, and snapped power in vast swathes.
