National Highway turns into water wonderland in Bhatkal amidst heavy rainfall
Bhatkal: The heavy and continuous rainfall in Uttara Kannada district over the past few days has transformed a section of National Highway 66 that passes through Ranginkatte in Bhatkal into a waterlogged zone, resembling a lake.
The downpour has caused the stretch of the national highway, spanning from Shamshuddin Circle to Ranginkatte, to be submerged in rainwater. This has severely impacted the movement of both vehicles and pedestrians in the area, posing challenges for those traveling long distances.
