“There is one disaster response team in Bengaluru, which must be increased to four.
The four teams will be raised with the assistance of state disaster response funds and the Ministry of Finance,” Bommai said.

Many areas were flooded with heavy rains in the country’s IT capital on Thursday.

Bommai said there were 64 rescue teams with 15 members each.
Members will increase to at least 30 years.
The house keeper and civil defense volunteers must be added to these teams, he added.

We have taken the construction of the rest of the work under the Nagarotthana scheme,” said Bommai.
