Chikkamagaluru, Oct 16: Super cop K Annamalai, who served as the superintendent of police of Chikkamagaluru district for over two years, today received his transfer order.

The state government posted the 2011 batch IPS officer as the Deputy Commissioner of Police of Bengaluru City (South). He will be replacing IPS officer Sharanappa S D.

Known for his people-friendly policing and tough stance towards communal forces, Annamalai was transferred to Ramanagara district soon after BJP leader B S Yeddyurappa became the chief minister for a couple of days in May this year. However, his transfer was revoked after H D Kumaraswamy became the chief minister of Karnataka.

Annamalai had earned the title of ‘Singam’ from media and people when he was the superintendent of police of Udupi district, from where he was transferred to Chikkamagaluru in July 2016.

Mangaluru, Jul 4: Normal life was thrown out of gear as heavy rain under the influence of South East Monsoon started lashing coastal districts of Karnataka including Dakshina Kannada on Saturday.

The heavy rain is likely to continue till July 7, according to the meteorological experts. 

The water level in Netravati river is increasing and district administration has warned the people living in the low lying areas and has asked them to move to safer places.

Owing to lack of storm water drains, water logging of the roads inconvenienced the motorists at KS Rao Road, Pumpwell, Bejai, and other areas. 

The Met department sounded warning for fishermen not to venture into the sea observing that strong winds with speed reaching 50-60 kmph are likely to prevail over Southwest and West Central Arabian Sea till July 5.
