Mangaluru, Sept 13, 2020: With the intensity of rain reducing since Friday afternoon, there was respite for residents of Jappinamogaru from water-logging. On Friday, about 50 families left that area and many of them were provided shelter at Maratha Bhavan, while some rushed to their relatives’ houses. But it was a wet day with intermittent showers all through the day.

Mayor Diwakar said with rain intensity reducing, albeit with occasional heavy showers, the area was free from water-logging and inundation. “People have started returning to their houses since Friday night. There are no reports of any damage to property on Saturday,” he said. Fire personnel said that there were no calls for rescue and relief on Saturday. Chief fire officer B Tippeswamy said they were ready to tackle emergencies, but there were none fortunately.

The reduced intensity of rain could be gauged from the fact that Mangaluru taluk received only one-third of the rain it received on Friday. It was 210mm on Friday, and 75mm on Saturday (in 24 hours till 8.30am). Bantwal and Belthangady taluks received 75mm and 65mm rain, respectively.

Forecasting widespread moderate-to-heavy rain with isolated very heavy rain over Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts, KSNMDC has warned fishermen not to venture into the sea.
