Heavy rain lashes Dakshina Kannada: Widespread flooding, property damage
Mangaluru: Continuous heavy rain since last night has caused extensive damage across Dakshina Kannada district. Several areas in Mangaluru city and its rural outskirts experienced severe rainfall, leading to house and compound wall collapses, and the uprooting of trees.
Key locations such as Mission Street, Rao & Rao Circle, and Koppar Hithlu were submerged, prompting rescue operations to evacuate residents trapped by the rising water.
Reports indicate that unscientific urban planning and drainage works by the Mangaluru City Corporation have worsened the situation, with floodwaters entering homes and shops, resulting in significant losses.
Volunteers from the DYFI (Democratic Youth Federation of India) played a key role in relief efforts, helping evacuate affected people to safer locations. DYFI district president B.K. Imtiyaz, along with members Nazeer Kudroli, Dikshith Kuthar, Siddique, and Rihab Bunder, were actively involved in the operations.

TCS orders probe, engages external experts in Nashik Case
Mumbai: Tata Consultancy Services on Friday said it has initiated a formal internal investigation into allegations linked to its Nashik unit and engaged independent external experts to ensure transparency in the process.
Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director K Krithivasan was quoted by The Observer Post as saying that the company has appointed Deloitte and Trilegal as independent counsel to support the probe. The internal investigation is being led by Aarthi Subramanian.
The company has constituted a supervisory committee chaired by independent director Keki Mistry, which will oversee the process. The committee will also review findings and monitor the implementation of recommendations.
Krithivasan said a preliminary review of the company’s internal systems and records had not revealed any complaints of the nature being alleged through its ethics or POSH channels.
He also clarified that an employee named in media reports, Nida Khan, was not part of the human resources function and did not hold any leadership role. He informed that she worked as a process associate.
The company has also rejected reports suggesting that operations at the Nashik facility had been suspended. It asserted that the unit continues to function without disruption with a zero-tolerance policy towards misconduct.
