Mangaluru (Karnataka), 26/5: Heavy monsoon rains are lashing Karnataka’s coastal belt for the third consecutive day on Monday severely disrupting normal life in Dakshina Kannada district, prompting authorities to issue a red alert and deploy disaster response teams.
The red alert for coastal Karnataka will remain in force for the next five days, the IMD said. Several parts of Mangaluru city reported waterlogging and traffic snarls as the drainage systems failed to cope with the downpour.
