Mangalore: Drizzle turns into downpour, low-lying areas flooded

July 30, 2010

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.

Chamarajanagar, Jan 3: The residents of Galipura layout in Chamarajanagar city boycotted the annual Community Based Survey (CBS), conducted by the Health and Family Welfare department, mistaking it to be the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Majority of the residents in the layout belong to Muslim community. The people, who mistook CBS to the NRC survey, got into arguments with the Asha workers, who were given the responsibility of collecting information. They even tore the forms into pieces and vent their ire.

The Health Department conducts CBS every year in the urban areas and collects all details including Aadhaar number, residential address, details of family members, health problems and others.

Fifteen Asha workers were deputed for the survey in the layout. A few youths started questioning them alleging it to be an NRC survey and started arguing with them.
Tahsildar Mahesh, District Health and Family Welfare Officer Dr N C Ravi, with the help of Muslim leaders cleared the confusion. The community leaders assured of explaining it to the residents and extend cooperation to the survey.
