Mysuru / Madikeri: The dark clouds have opened up and it has been raining cats and dogs in Kodagu. The rain that began on July 17 has intensified, causing extensive damage to the district and normal life has been severely affected. Trees have been uprooted at many places cutting off power lines and roads have caved-in blocking the smooth passage of vehicles. Landslides too have been reported in several places.
According to District Administration officials, Kodagu has not received such a rain since the last three years and probably for the first time in recent years, the Virajpet-Makutta Road that connects the district to Kerala has been blocked as a major part of the road has caved-in near the Perumbadi Gate.
