Local Impact and Precautions
Recent heavy rains have caused waterlogging and landslips in Dakshina Kannada, prompting the district administration to declare holidays for schools in Mangaluru, Ullal, and Bantwal taluks earlier this month. While no specific holiday has been announced for Puttur today, residents are advised to avoid low-lying areas and rivers, as water levels in local streams may rise. Fishermen have been cautioned against venturing into the sea due to rough conditions.
