Experts from the Amritha University in Kollam and the Karnataka State National Disaster Management Centre (KSNDMC) visited Kodagu on Wednesday to study the reasons for landslides in some parts of the district.
They visited Chamundeshwari Nagar in Madikeri and Ayyappa Hills in Virajpet taluk where landslides were reported.
The families living at Chamundeshwari Nagar had been asked to shift in view of the looming threat in the days ahead in view of heavy rains. This place is closer to Raja Seat, a popular tourist destination in Kodagu.
