Mangaluru, June 17, 2025: A landslip at Doddathappale, in Sakleshpur taluk in Hassan district of Karnataka, on National Highway 75, connecting Bengaluru and Mangaluru, disrupted movement of vehicles at night on Monday June 16.

Sources said that unscientific cutting of the hillock during widening of the road had led to landslips.
