Nanjangud: - The temple town of Nanjangud, also known as ‘Dakshina Kashi’ continued to reel under floods for the second day today. The famous Srikanteshwara temple appeared like an island with flood water rising to almost 3 feet deep all around the temple, with most of the cluster temples in the vicinity too submerged.
The Nanjangud-Hejjige Bridge which provides a vital transportation link to the temple town has developed cracks reportedly due to the high pressure of gushing waters, following which the authorities banned movement of Heavy Traffic Vehicles while allowing only Light Motor Vehicles to travel on the bridge.
