Mangaluru/Udupi, Jun 8: The district administrations in the twin coastal districts have declared two-day holiday for schools as the southwestern monsoon continued to unleash its fury in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi.
Though students went to schools in some places on Friday morning, they were sent back. On Saturday schools will remain shut owing to rains.
The southwest monsoon that entered the state two days ago, remained active throughout the night and rains continued to lash on Friday too. Many areas in Dakshina Kannada received about 120 mm rain since Thursday morning till Friday early morning.
It may be recalled that a schoolgirl was washed away in the swelling waters of a stream at Padubidri in Udupi district when it rained heavily on May 29.
Bengaluru, Feb 14: After the swearing-in of ten former JDS and Congress MLAs, political boundaries seem to have become more fluid, with little clarity on who is on whose side. When Honnali BJP MLA Renukacharya visited senior Congressman DK Shivakumar at the latter’s residence, many eyebrows were raised over the reason behind the meeting. There was speculation over why Renukacharya would be meeting a man who is, in all likelihood, slated to be the next KPCC president.

Publics are enjoying. This is hard time for farmers. Crops are getting spoiled. This time production will be less
While recalling previous year monsoon experience, this year bit better. Previous year it was too horrible as we got less rains
