Mangaluru: Flash flood triggered by heavy rain hit the city's main industrial area in Bikampadi. Several factories are facing massive loss due to waterlogging.
Rainwater has damaged many factories, including sector plot number 192c, 394A, 396b, 192, and 193.
“Our factory has been working for the past 25 years. This is the first time that the water entered the factory. This has caused a huge loss. Unscientific maintenance of the roads after concretisation, lack of safety measures triggered the flash flood,” Manager of EchoLite Synthetic Craziness Chemical Factory Manager Rafiq told Vartha Bharati.
