Overview

• Deputy commissioners in Dharwad, Uttara Kannada, Chikkamagaluru, Belagavi, Hassan, Bidar and Kodagu ordered Tuesday holidays for anganwadis, schools and pre-university colleges in several taluks.
• At Linganamakki, engineers scheduled a 10 a.m. Tuesday release after fast-rising inflows, with alerts issued to Honnavar taluk villages and advisories for fishermen to stay off rivers and the sea.
• Outflows were ramped up elsewhere: KRS and Kabini raised combined releases to about 95,000 cusecs, Harangi released roughly 8,000 cusecs, Malaprabha neared full level with outflow set to rise toward 9,000–10,000 cusecs, and Markandeya began a controlled discharge near 5,000 cusecs.
• Continuous rain triggered multiple landslides in Hassan district’s Shiradi Ghat, blocking stretches near Kappalli and causing a retaining wall collapse on NH-75 at Donigal, with no casualties reported.
• Authorities reported localized damage, including seven houses destroyed and three partially damaged in Uttara Kannada and tank breaches in Bidar’s Aurad and Kamalnagar that flooded farmland and damaged small bridges.
