The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Heavy monsoon rain in the Malenadu region over the past four to five days has caused the Tungabhadra river near Harihara to swell and flow at full capacity.
- The river had run low earlier this season because June and July rains were weak, so the rise in flow came later than usual.
- Crowds have been gathering near the Raghavendra Math's Tungabhadra mantapa and the old bridge for the past two days to see the swollen river.
- The river is already flowing at warning level, with backwater reaching low-lying farmland and plantations in several villages, and visitors are being urged to be careful.
What to watch next
- Whether the river rises further and flooding spreads to more low-lying areas along the taluk
- Safety around crowds visiting the riverbanks near the old bridge and Tungabhadra mantapa
- Continued heavy rainfall in Chikkamagaluru and Shivamogga districts feeding the river
