Due to the heavy rainfall in Yelhanka area for the past three days, the Yelhanka lake has broken and several houses have been flooded. There are 603 people in the central yacht community, where 4-5 feet of water is hard to walk. The Yelahanka legislator Vishwanath has immediately given full support and cooperation. He said the food and water were supplied to help people walk.

The Chief Minister said that he had met with Vishwanath yesterday to discuss a systematic solution to the damage caused by the Yalahanka region and had arrived to see the situation firsthand.

Drainage system:

The central Vihar community of 603 people will have a drainage system to provide water. Their consent will be obtained by going to the sewer down the national highway. Only then will there be a permanent solution to this problem.

Origin of the problem:

About 11 lakes in the top of the Yalahanka Lake join the Yalahanka Lake. Heavy rainfall is prevalent throughout the state, including in the south and north inland. Here too, large quantities of water have flowed from the Yelahanka Lake. There are two codices in the Yelahanka lake. The two are overflowing and the size of the two palaces is very small. The Yelahanka Lake is large and its outflow rate is high. He said the problem was caused by overcrowding or shutting down of politics.
