As roads leading to Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) were waterlogged due to the heavy rains across the city on Monday night, cabs and private vehicles were stranded forcing some passengers to depend on alternative modes of transport. In a video shared on social media, a tractor was seen ferrying passengers to the airport as taxis refused to drive through flooding waters.
According to Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), 20 departing flights between 5.30 pm and 11.59 pm were delayed due to weather conditions and low visibility. “Flights have resumed normal operations since then,” a BIAL spokesperson told The Indian Express.
