Heavy rain for two hours in the afternoon on Thursday left Kalaburagi city with water logging, inundation and overflowing drains. Rain which began at around 2 p.m. lashed the city for nearly two hours resulting in water logging in low-lying areas. Traffic snarls were witnessed at major junctions and people had a tough time navigating through some of the arterial roads.
Deputy Commissioner Yeshwanth Gurukar and Kalaburagi City Corporation Commissioner Bhuvanesh Patil, along with officials, visited the Tarfile area where rainwater entered houses forcing people to move out. Officials conducted a survey to assess rain-related damage.
Mr. Gurukar directed the officials to release compensation immediately as per norms to the families that suffered losses.
