Karnataka rains force school closures in multiple districts
Heavy monsoon rains have triggered red alerts across coastal Karnataka, leading to school closures in Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, and Shivamogga. The India Meteorological Department is warning about more downpours that could cause waterlogging and flooding. All schools up to high school—including Anganwadis—are closed for now.
Stay indoors, follow safety guidelines
The weather has already turned deadly: a two-year-old boy drowned in a roadside drain and a 50-year-old man was swept away by floodwaters in Uttara Kannada. District officials are urging everyone to stay indoors and follow safety guidelines, with disaster teams on high alert as more heavy rain is expected over the next few days.
