Kodagu: Heavy rains create havoc in district, orange alert issued

Madikeri: Heavy downpours for the past couple of days throughout the Kodagu district have devastated normal life.

On Thursday, September 1, the district experienced very heavy rainfall due to which some areas like Omkareshwara Road, Gooulibeedi, Indiranagar, etc., of the district observed a flood-like situation. The drains overflowed resulting in the entry of water into houses and shops.
