Mangalore, July 30: The steady drizzle from the past two days turned into a torrential downpour on Thursday evening and many low- lying areas in the city were flooded. One person was injured after a landslip at Shakthinagar damaged the house.

Low-lying areas like Kodialbail West, Car Street, Bunder, Subash Nagar near Pandeshwar, Jeppina Mogeru, Kodikkal, Kottara, Bajjodi, Kallapu, Bhagavathi Nagar near Kodiabail and others were in knee-deep water. In many places water had entered the houses and the imamates were using buckets to drain out the water.

In Kodialbail West many vehicles were stranded and water had entered the ground floor of some apartment buildings. The police commissioner also had the bitter experience of his compound getting flooded. Last time water had entered the ground floor of the house.

Fire service personnel were assessing the situation in Pandeshwar and finding a way to let out the water which had flooded the area due to blocks in water channels. The high tide at sea compounded the problem as the water could not find its natural outlet to the sea.

At Shakthinagar, Narayana Gowda sustained injuries when the rear portion of his old house was damaged after the hillock caved in at 5.30 pm. He has been shifted to the hospital. Eyewitnesses said that the hillock was unstable and the house will be completely damaged if the caving in continued as also the apartment which is on the upper side of the hillock.

School holiday?

Meanwhile, DDPI Chame Gowda said the Block Educational Officers have been advised to declare holiday where children residing in low-lying areas find it difficult to approach the school.

Bengaluru, Mar 31: Bengaluru Central Crime Branch on Tuesday seized as many as 1,000 fake N95 masks amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

However, the police are yet to make arrests in the case.

Investigation in the case is underway and more details in this regard are awaited.

Recently, Noida Sub-Divisional Magistrate with a team from the Health department busted a fake sanitiser and mask factory.

Notably, the Central government recently had brought masks and hand sanitisers under the Essential Commodities Act up to June 30 as the novel coronavirus pandemic led to shortages and black marketing of these items.

Any person found guilty under the Act may be punished with imprisonment up to seven years or fine or both and can be detained for a maximum of six months.
