Relentless rain and waterlogging in Bengaluru has painted a grim picture of the city. The rapidly growing city, christened the ‘Silicon Valley’ of India, has been struggling with poor infrastructure and unplanned urban development leading to the waterlogging and traffic snarls.

While people continue to commute to work and deal with water supply woes, many severely waterlogged areas in the city have even seen evacuations. Unacademy CEO Gaurav Munjal also shared his ordeal with the waterlogging that required his family and his pet dog to be evacuated from his submerged society.

In a tweet, Munjal shared a video of his dog atop a tractor with a caretaker. He even added that he will try to help and his DMs are open to anyone in need.

“Family and my pet Albus has been evacuated on a Tractor from our society that’s now submerged. Things are bad. Please take care. DM me if you need any help, I’ll try my best to help,” Munjal tweeted.
