Road connectivity between various villages in Chincholi and Sedam taluks of Kalaburagi district and in the Karnataka-Telangana border villages was cut off as bridges on major stretches were washed away due to incessant rain that has been lashing the district for the last one week.
The incessant downpour on Monday night caused floods in the local tanks and rivulets and the floodwaters breached several causeways, snapping road links on more than 12 bridges across the Kagina and the Mullamari in Chincholli and Sedam taluks.
Villagers in low-lying areas have been forced to shift out of their places as floodwaters gushed into their houses. As many as 40 houses in Degalmadi, Kollur and Nagaidlai villages in Chincholi taluk and many government schools in Chincholi and Chittapur taluks are waterlogged.
