Almost all areas of Udupi city in Karnataka, particularly those on the banks of the Indrani rivulet (Kalsanka Thodu), were inundated in flood waters since July 6 morning even as heavy rains measuring up to 200 mm pounded the region.
High tides in the Arabian Sea delayed draining out of the rainwater even as clogged stormwater drains contributed to the agony of people. No casualty was reported.
Fire and Emergency Force personnel along with local people ferried stranded residents to safe locations from flood-affected areas using inflatable as well as traditional boats.
