Mangaluru: Heavy rain throws city out of gear, floods low-lying areas
Mangaluru, May 29: Heavy downpour that is lashing the coastal region since Tuesday morning has caused flooding in many low-lying areas in and around mangaluru.
Heavy rains threw life out of gear by overflowing drains and sewage flowing on to the roads causing inconvenience to pedestrians and motorists.
The drainage water is flowing on to the road near the Mahanagara Palike’s office in Lalbagh, Kapikad, Nantur, Attavar, Balmath, Padil's railway bridge and in some other places. This is causing a severe problem for traffic movement. The overflow of sewage from manholes is also reported from KS Rao Road.
While the rainwater has inundated four houses and a shop in Kulai, drainage water entered some homes in Urva Hoige Bazar.
Downpour has also affected the schools’ re-opening that was scheduled today.
