India Jun 16, 2025

Karnataka is dealing with heavy rain, leading the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue a 'red' alert for June 16 and an 'orange' alert for June 17.
Coastal areas like Dakshina Kannada and Udupi are seeing flooded streets, damaged property, and major disruptions to daily life.

Travel tough, reservoirs in better shape than last year

The flooding has made travel tough and increased the risk of landslides in high-alert districts.
IMD is urging everyone to stay cautious and prepared.
On a brighter note, all this rain means Karnataka's reservoirs are in much better shape than last year—good news for future water supply.
