Mysuru: Tourist and visitor entry to the famed Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) dam has been banned today and tomorrow following the tragic death of three tourists, who were killed when a giant tree came crashing down on them at the Brindavan Gardens of the dam. The entry has been banned as the authorities have to clear more than 50 trees and branches that had crashed.
Heavy rain and high-velocity winds uprooted several trees last evening and the tourists were running helter-skelter to escape the showers. This is for the first time such an incident occurred in the KRS where three tourists died due to tree fall.
