Heavy rainfall in Bengaluru on Sunday evening came as a dampener to Deepavali festivities. While the rains cut short those bursting crackers, the downpour caused severe waterlogging in several parts of the city. Several Twitter users took to the micro-blogging platform to post about the weather and the subsequent flooding of roads. While some complained about the condition of the roads which led to inundation of waters, others seemed to be relieved by the rains which ensured that there were not as many fireworks burst. Sad for the kids in Bangalore but really happy how the strong rains are preventing everyone from bursting crackers. #bangalorerains #bengaluru #diwali — Bhavna Nagpal (@bhavna_nagpal) October 27, 2019 Happy Diwali! love how Bengaluru's weather is fighting the crackers.
