Holiday declared for anganwadis in Malnad
Hassan/Chikkamagaluru: Chikkamagaluru and Hassan districts continue to witness heavy rain, prompting authorities to declare holidays for anganwadi centres in the Malnad taluks of both districts on Wednesday. Sringeri in Chikkamagaluru received the highest rain of 77 mm, while Hettur in Sakleshpura in Hassan district received 180 mm of rain in the last 24 hours. Rain caused damages in both districts on Tuesday and Wednesday. Nearly 100 metres of retaining walls constructed along National Highway-75 between Anemahal and Donigal in Sakleshpur taluk were washed away. The concrete road built a few days ago alongside the highway also developed cracks. People are concerned that the retaining wall might collapse if the rain intensifies. In the Malnad region of Chikkamagaluru district, NH-169 connecting Sringeri to Mangaluru was blocked after a landslide near Nemmar, close to Sringeri. However, the NHAI authorities managed to clear the mud, allowing movement of vehicles. The road was blocked a week ago following the landslip.
