Those living on the hills in Madikeri town are worried; eight homes cave in, many abandon their dwellings

With heavy rains continuing to batter Kodagu, some families living on the hills in Madikeri town found themselves homeless when their dwellings caved in under the onslaught.

As many as eight houses tumbled to the ground in Indira Nagar and Chamundeshwari Nagar in the town. Many people living in the hilly areas have abandoned their homes fearing a collapse.

The Kodagu district of Karnataka has been badly affected by the persistent rains and low pressure over India’s western coast. All dams in Karnataka and on the Cauvery River have been filled to capacity. Heavy rain is likely to continue till Monday in isolated spots. About 180 people in Kushalnagar and Kodagu were rescued by the Civil Defence Quick Response Team on August 15th.
