People of various districts continued to be haunted by rain-related problems. While some areas especially Malnad and coastal region continued to receive rains, the northern parts of the State faced the problem of high outflows from reservoirs.
Though there is a decline in the rainfall activity in northern areas, the outflow from major reservoirs continued to be high as a precautionary measure.
The first rain-related casualty has been reported in Kodagu district with the death of a 70-year-old woman from Shanivarasanthe hobli on Saturday. Vasanthamma, who was injured when a portion of her house collapsed on July 5 following heavy rains, succumbed to injuries at a hospital in Hassan. The victim was a native of Sulugalale village.
