As a result of the incessant downpour, Jagadish G, the Bengaluru Urban Deputy Commissioner, ordered the closure of schools and Anganwadi centres on Monday.

This marks the second time in a week that schools have been closed due to rains in Bengaluru, as residents and commuters grapple with flooded roads and fallen trees.
