Heavy rainfall during the monsoon has hit Udupi district, causing extensive damage to residential houses and interrupting transportation routes across major roads.
The deluge, part of a larger eastern monsoon pattern, intensified after persistent cloud cover over the coastal belt last week, leading to sudden and severe downpours.
Several households have been flooded and several roads, including the main coastal stretch, are currently closed; rescue teams are working to clear lanes and assess property damage. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
