Mangaluru, Dec 3: The impact of the Tamil Nadu Fengal Cyclone has caused significant damage in Dakshina Kannada. Due to continuous rainfall, the Mangaluru-Udupi National Highway at Kulluru has caved in. It is alleged that this incident occurred because of road excavation work carried out by GAIL company.
The excavation work created a large pit, and the accumulated rainwater led to the collapse of the road in that area. The road gave way suddenly while bikes, cars, and trucks were passing, narrowly avoiding a major disaster.
Locals have raised concerns that, despite the collapse, heavy vehicles are still passing nearby, posing a risk of further road collapse.
The Fengal Cyclone has disrupted life across Dakshina Kannada, causing landslides and the collapse of retaining walls, creating obstacles for the public.
