Heavy rains lash Udupi district; Normal life disrupted, roads submerged
Udupi: Heavy rain accompanied by strong winds lashed various parts of Udupi district since early Tuesday morning, throwing normal life out of gear. The downpour disrupted vehicular movement and severely affected daily activities in Udupi and Manipal.
On the Udupi–Manipal National Highway 169A, between INOX Manipal and Syndicate Circle, rainwater washed away the soil that had been filled along the roadside, creating a dangerously deep trench. The displaced mud and rocks flowed toward the Lakshmindranagar area, covering the road with slush and debris, which hindered vehicle movement. Traffic was diverted temporarily due to the condition of the road.
In Lakshmindranagar, muddy water overflowed from drains and entered nearby shops. Commercial establishments located on the lower floors of the Central Park complex near INOX were flooded with slush and debris, causing significant damage. Municipal workers rushed to the spot and carried out a clearance operation using JCB machines.
Several roads in Udupi city were also waterlogged, leading to traffic snarls. Water was seen flowing across stretches of the National Highway at Kadiyali and Kunjibettu. Devotees from other districts and states who had come to visit the Sri Krishna Math in Udupi faced considerable difficulties. Rainwater accumulation on National Highway 66 also led to major inconveniences for commuters.

Bengaluru: Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge has alleged involvement of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in a money transfer network at global level.
Posting his allegation on his personal ‘X’ account on Saturday morning, Kharge said that he was referring to an issue that had not been dealt with decisively by Indian media houses.
“Here is a crucial story that the Indian media will never touch,” the minister has said, and clarified, “This so-called “body of individuals” has built a global network of over 2,500 affiliated organisations. Through these fronts, the RSS collects “guru dakshina” to fuel its divisive agenda. (sic)”
Kharge has further alleged, “The world’s largest NGO is running amok, laundering money and evading accountability.”
The minister added, “Here is a map of their organisational architecture of their “Vichar Parivaar.” https://rssproject.caravanmagazine.in / @thecaravanindia”
