Mangaluru, May 30: The city of Mangaluru, which carried a stigma of communal violence and hatred atmosphere in recent days, seems to overcome from it after the Tuesday’s heavy rainfall.

Though the residents are suffering from the rain and cursing the failure of the administration, people from different communities have come together forgetting their religious differences.

Heavy rains that lashed the city on Tuesday led to waterlogging at a temple near Shiva Nagar in Pandeshwar. Members of Muslim community extended a helping hand to drain the water. The photos and videos of this act, which went viral on social media, are being appreciated a lot.

Social networking users are saying that natural disasters unite people who are fighting at each other for politics.
