High tides at Someshwara, Uchila pose danger to more than 30 homes
Ullal: Increasing tidal activity in the seas near Someshwara, Uchila and Battapadi has reportedly put more than 30 houses in danger near the sea, locals informed.
The sea was 250 meters away 5 years ago. However, with each passing year, the sea has slowly neared the residential area by the shores, where it breaks waves close to the homes, it is learned. As the road has been encroached by the sea, the residents in the region have lost transportation means to reach outer regions, they said.
Since Thursday morning, waves of extreme magnitude have been breaking on the shores, uprooting coconut trees and dragging them to sea. Several structures near the area are in danger of being washed away by the sea, it is learned.

Low visibility prevents PM’s helicopter from landing in Taherpur, Modi returns to Kolkata airport
Kolkata (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s helicopter failed to land at the Taherpur helipad in West Bengal owing to low visibility on account of dense fog in the area on Saturday, an official said.
The PM’s chopper made a U-turn after hovering over the helipad ground for a while and returned to the Kolkata airport, he said.
Till reports last received, the Prime Minister was waiting at the airport for further updates on the weather situation.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Modi would reach the rally venue district by road or whether he would wait for the weather to clear up and make another attempt to reach Taherpur by the aerial route, the official said.
Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister reached Kolkata at around 10.40 am and took a chopper onward to Taherpur in Nadia district, where he is scheduled to hold an administrative programme to launch highway projects in West Bengal, followed by a political rally of the BJP, titled Parivartan Sankalpa Sabha, which he is supposed to address.
