Unrelenting rain has left flower and vegetable traders in Chikkaballapur district and Bengaluru's KR Market counting their losses, with flowers, fruits, and leafy greens suffering significant damage.

"Almost 50% of my flowers rotted in the past two days," lamented Suresh Gowda, a flower trader from Chikkaballapur. "We cannot store them for long, and the rain completely ruined our sales. I lost nearly Rs 25,000 this week alone," he said.
