Bantwal, Jul 30: The water level in the Netravati River reached 7.9 meters on Tuesday morning due to incessant rains in the ghat region.
Some low-lying areas are already inundated, including the main road at Ajilamogaru. If the water level continues to rise, there is an imminent danger of floods. River water has entered the roads. Most students in city areas travel to school by auto-rickshaws and vans. However, students in rural areas along the riverbanks, such as Balthila and Perne, have to walk to school.
The Bantwal tahsildar has instructed the CRP and STMC committees of schools at risk of flooding to declare holidays as needed.
