With a temporary lull in rainfall, the districts of North Karnataka that were battered by heavy rain on Monday and Tuesday had some relief on Wednesday. However, as per the weather forecast, rain is likely to continue for a couple of days more.
The sudden downpour has already damaged yield and harvested crops in some parts of the districts of Dharwad, Gadag and Haveri and farmers have been advised to take precautionary steps to protect the harvested crops.
Meanwhile, downpour has exposed the unscientific execution of the Smart City works in Hubballi-Dharwad with several newly laid roads getting waterlogged on account of improper drainage system.
