The monsoon season has returned quickly and Karnataka is one of the states that are facing the most impact. The continuous torrential rains have affected many districts. Keeping in mind the safety of the students, the authorities have ordered the closure of schools and colleges. Bengaluru, coastal Karnataka and Malnad region are particularly affected, where traffic has come to a complete standstill due to heavy waterlogging on the roads.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a new alert, warning of heavy rain for the next few days. Not only Karnataka, states like Rajasthan and West Bengal are also on high alert. This forecast has become a cause of concern for those traveling daily in urban and rural areas, small traders and farmers.

The shutdown of the school for 16 -year -old Sanjana of Shivamogga brought both relief and disappointment. "Well got a little break, but I was quite excited for my science fair," she told. At the same time, Bangalore cab driver Rajiv expressed concern, "Roads are full of water, which has reduced the ride. My daily earnings are half."

This barrier caused by rain exposes deep concerns about urban planning and climate flexibility. Flowing drains, waterlogging roads and power cuts in many parts of the state have resumed the discussion of how Indian cities deal with extreme weather conditions.

The situation is constantly being monitored by the authorities, and people are being appealed to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel. While the monsoon brings the necessary water, the deadline and intensity of these rains has now become a challenge for the old infrastructure and planning. In such a time, coordinated action is not only helpful, but also compulsory.
