Yellow alert declared in Dakshina Kannada district on June 28
Mangaluru: The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a ‘Yellow alert’ for Dakshina Kannada district on June 28 following heavy rainfall that persisted from Tuesday morning through the afternoon. Following heavy rainfall on Tuesday, the IMD has predicted substantial rainfall in the next 24 hours.
Since Tuesday morning, the district has been experiencing heavy rainfall. Apart from Mangaluru, it also rained in the rural areas.
Meanwhile, heavy rains on Tuesday led to artificial floods in several parts of the city, including Pandeshwar, KS Rao Road, Ambedkar Circle Jyoti, Bunts Hostel, Bejai, Kuntikana, and Kottara Chowki. The city experienced traffic disruptions as well. There was sunshine early in the afternoon, but the weather was a mix of cloudy and sunny as the afternoon progressed.
At the same time, due to the incomplete Smart City works, the water did not flow smoothly in the sewers, resulting in the water logging on roads. As a result, motorists and pedestrians faced difficulties navigating through the waterlogged streets.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
