Mangalore, April 18: Heavy rains coupled with strong winds lashed Mangalore on Wednesday evening, inundating low-lying areas of the city and throwing normal life out of gear.

Though the pre-monsoon showers had begun in Mangalore and other parts of Dakshina Kannada district a couple of weeks ago, Mangaloreans experienced the real vigour of rainy season for the first time in this year on Wednesday.

The rainfall was marked by occasional lightning and gale snapping power and cable lines and uprooting trees in some areas of the city disrupting vehicular movement.


Five persons were injured when a pendal collapsed on the premises of a temple in Shakti Nagar on Wednesday owing to gusty wind. They were treated at a private hospital.

The high winds also brought down many giant cut-outs and banners in many parts of the city indirectly helping the Mangalore City Corporation's on going clean-up drive.

A stationary motorbike was damaged when a huge banner suddenly fell on it in front of Mangalore Gate building in Kankanady. A tree fell on the road near Mangalore Central Railway Station, affecting traffic for sometime.


According to the Indian Meteorological Department, there is a possibility of rain or thunderstorm in Mangalore on Thursday and Friday.

Bengaluru, May 30: Health Minister B Sriramulu banned the consumption of chewing tobacco in public places on Saturday, which is marked as World Tobacco Day. The ban would include chewing paan masala and spitting in public places.

In June 2013, the state banned the manufacture, storage, sale, or distribution of gutka and paan masala containing tobacco or nicotine as ingredients to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use. On October 26, 2016, the state proscribed all kinds of chewing tobacco, containing tobacco or nicotine or both in accordance with the Supreme Court order.

Karnataka is the second state in India to ban e-cigarettes. The state also prohibited single cigarettes. Until September 2019, the state counselled 15,698 patients in tobacco cessation centres set up in private dental colleges.
