Mysuru: The rains that have battered Kodagu, called the Kashmir of the South, since the last few days has changed the very landscape of the district. The people who had built a comfortable life in the lap of nature are today washed away in the floods.
They have moved away from their houses due to landslides and taking shelter in relief centres. Hundreds of people, even amidst heavy rain, have walked tens of kilometres and escaped from floods, thus saving their lives. Some of the families who have survived the floods have taken shelter in their relatives’ homes in the city. A few of them shared their agonising, frightening and heart-rending experiences of the rain havoc with Star of Mysore.
