Mangaluru: The Leading Kannada news website varthabharati.in website had published the news of declaring a holiday for schools and colleges in Udupi district on July 24 in view of heavy rains. But some miscreants were spreading false news using the screen shot of the website after altering the date as July 25. Now, Varthabharati has decided to take legal action against them.
Recently, Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts received heavy rains due to which the Udupi district administration had declared holiday on July 24 and Dakshina Kannada district administration had declared holiday on July 23.
