Heavy Rainstorms Affect Dakshina Kannada and Udupi Districts

Heavy rainfall has struck parts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts, causing extensive waterlogging and flash floods across coastal areas.

Weather analysts attribute the downpour to the southwest monsoon bringing persistent showers across the Karnataka coast for the third consecutive day, prompting the Meteorological Department to issue a rainfall warning.

Roads in villages like Kaup, Karkala and Kundapura are submerged, with water depths reaching up to two metres. Local authorities have deployed rescue teams and set up shelters to aid affected residents. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
