Heavy rains have been taking a toll on the large trees dotting the cities that are not prepared without a complaint from the neighbourhoods. A software professional was injured when a tree crashed over him earlier this week.
Bengaluru: More than 100 trees were ripped from the ground, streets became raging rivers, and power cuts blacked out many areas as pre-monsoon rains pummelled the city for the third consecutive day.
RR Nagar bore the brunt of the tree falls with 70 incidents, followed by the West Zone (30), East Zone (24), South Zone (16), Yelahanka (7), Dasarahalli (3), and Bommanahalli (2).

The downpour did not just topple trees; it also flooded roads, leaving motorists and pedestrians stranded. Broken and damaged electrical poles also disrupted power supply in a few neighbourhoods.
