The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Heavy rain in the Western Ghats has caused the Ghataprabha River to overflow in Belagavi district, with the famous Gokak Falls surging strongly.
- The rising water has completely submerged the bridge-cum-barrage between Gokak town and Shingalapur village, halting traffic on that route.
- Authorities have arranged for vehicles and the public to travel via alternative routes, and local daily life has been affected.
What to watch next
- Whether the Ghataprabha's water level recedes enough to reopen the Gokak-Shingalapur bridge-cum-barrage
- How long alternative route arrangements remain in place for travellers
- Further rainfall in the Western Ghats region and its effect on river and waterfall levels
