India's urban nightmare: Killer floods in Kolkata, cratered roads in Bengaluru

India's urban infrastructure is collapsing, with major cities facing crises. In Kolkata, heavy inundation has led to flooded streets, submerged Durga Puja pandals, and at least nine electrocution deaths, with the opposition calling the situation 'civic murder'. A speaker stated, "these are not the deaths, these are the murders." Meanwhile, Bengaluru is battling a pothole crisis that has turned roads into obstacle courses, sparking a political showdown and protests.
