Oklipuram flyover leaking after rain

Tuesday’s rain has exposed the poor quality work of the Okalipuram underpass with the water leaking from the concrete roof.

The residents complained that the water seeped through the concrete roof leading to waterlogging on the underpass. Shivakumar, a resident, said: “After the rain, there was waist-deep water at the underpass, and the vehicle movement was difficult. This shows the shoddy work done by the authorities.”

Former chief minister Siddaramaiah had inaugurated the first phase of the project on March 1, days before the election Model Code of Conduct came into effect.

In another rain-related incident, a pedestrian path caved in at Navrang, near Rajajinagar, following the heavy rain on Tuesday.

Rajarajeshwari, a resident, said: “the incident occurred after the late night rain, the civic body officials yet to take up the repair work.”
