Nine villages in Karnataka inundated due to overflowing rivers

Hindustan Times  

Following the release of water from the KRS and Kabini dams, the overflowing of Cauvery and Kabini Rivers has led to severe flooding in nine villages of southern Karnataka on Thursday, said officials familiar with the matter. Rescue officials help stranded people in the flooded Uttara Kannada district on Thursday The nine flooded villages include Dasanpur, Harale, Agrahara, Hale Hampapur, New Hampapur, Mullur, Hale Angalli, Yadakuriya, Dhangere, and Saraguru in Kollegala taluk of Chamarajanagar. “The current flood crisis is further exacerbated by the ongoing heavy rainfall in Wayanad, Kerala, which has led to a substantial increase in the inflow of water into the Kabini reservoir,” said deputy commissioner Shilpa Nag. This rise in water levels has heightened the flood risk in the Kapila river basin, prompting district authorities to issue warnings to residents to remain vigilant and prepared for potential emergencies.” In response to the escalating situation, the district administration has erected barricades to restrict access to these submerged villages, and residents of the most severely impacted areas, such as Dasanpur and Hale Angalli, have been evacuated to care centres in Kollegala.
