Firms Like Wipro Culprits Of Bengaluru Floods, Reveals Special Investigation

New Delhi: The Bengaluru floods wreaked havoc in the city. Civic neglect has turned out to be the apparent cause with high-profile builders, developers and tech parks are among the list of alleged encroachers who closed up around 700 stormwater drains that led to last week’s flood in parts of the city.

The list includes Wipro, Prestige, Eco Space, Bagmane Tech Park, Columbia Asia Hospital and Divyashree Villas, reported NDTV, which has accessed the list of encroachments by high-profile names. It also appears that while demolitions are on in full swing for the common man’s properties, behemoth companies are yet to be touched, the report added.

Engineers told NDTV on condition of anonymity that they will also not be spared. But the action is yet to begin. “We are moving one after the other. But there’s a clear delay that we are seeing on ground,” one of them was quoted as saying.
