The Bengaluru Bruhat Mahanagara Palike has identified over 500 encroachments and will clear all of them in the next two months, BBMP Commissioner Tushar Girinath said here on Monday. Briefing the press about the record rainfall and floods, he said heavy rain through Sunday night and the overflowing Savalkere Lake impacted Mahadevapura’s ORR, Sarjapur, Yamalur, Marathahalli and Borewell Road.
