"Storm water drains are encroached upon, the drains are shallow and small, and they are filled with silt," Chief Minister of Karnataka state Siddaramaiah stated on Monday, adding "Instructions have been given to the municipal corporation multiple times to clear them, and work is still ongoing."
Siddaramaiah then continued that it was a "matter of sorrow that a woman lost her life" in Bengaluru, which is a place for over 10 million people.
