Heavy rain lashed coastal parts of Karnataka last evening, disrupting normal life and inundating many residential colonies.

The relentless showers have piled on the misery in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Uttara Kannada and Chikkamagaluru districts.

While coastal and Malnad districts witnessed heavy rain, many parts of north and south interior districts experienced mild showers.

Normal life has been affected in several places following incessant rain.

The heavy downpour rain led to waterlogging in several areas.

Incidents of tree fall and damages to houses were also reported from across the three coastal districts.

Several places in Malnad and coastal districts plunged into darkness following damage to power lines.

Unrelenting rain in the last two to three days has spurred water level in Manjra river in Bidar. A sharp spell of rain in the afternoon left many areas in Kalaburagi city waterlogged.
