Bantwal: The Netravati River is flowing above the danger mark, Tumbe Dam wall has collapsed, and the dam’s Pump House is in jeopardy due to the heavy rainfall for last two days.
This collapse occurred around 4 am today. The Netravati River is flowing above the danger mark following the heavy rainfall throughout the Western Ghats and on the coast. Following this, the inflow to Shamboor AMR and Thumbe Vented Dam in the Netravati River has increased. Since seven meters of water has been gathered at Thumbe Dam, all the doors except two have been opened. The temporary arrangement is underway at the site where the barrier collapses.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
