Rain recedes in coastal Karnataka, but road connectivity remains uncertain

The Hindu  

With rains receding in Dakshina Kannada district and the authorities clearing the mud deposited on July 30 by a landslip on Mangaluru- Bengaluru National Highway 75 in Sakleshpur taluk, vehicular movement resumed on July 31. However, with the threat of landslips looming large on all the highways connecting coastal Karnataka with Bengaluru and surrounding regions, all-weather connectivity remains a challenge. The coastal region has lost rail connectivity since July 26 with landslips affecting the track between Yadakumari and Kadagaravalli stations on the Sakleshpur-Subrahmanya Road stretch of the Hassan-Mangaluru railway line. The other two road connectivity options — Charmadi Ghat on Mangaluru-Tumakuru NH 73 and Sampaje Ghat on Mani-Mysuru NH 275 — too are vulnerable to landslips.
