DC MP Mullai Muhilan Inspects Ongoing Work to Avoid Flooding at Kuloor & Kottara Chowki in Mangalore

Deputy Commissioner M.P. Mullai Muhilan, MCC Commissioner C.L. Anand, and other officials inspected the ongoing work to mitigate flooding at Kuloor and Kottara Chowki in Mangalore on Wednesday evening, May 22.

The visit was in light of the forecast of heavy rains in Mangalore and other parts of the Karnataka coast during pre-monsoon and monsoon. Kottara Chowki, Malady Court, and Kuloor in the city are among the areas that frequently get flooded during heavy showers. The Deputy Commissioner first visited the place of construction of the new flyover in Kuloor where he gave direction to the NHAI officers to remove dumps of soil to ensure free flow of water. He then visited the bridges across the ‘Raja Kaluve’ near the Gold Finch city.

Mr. Muhilan directed the MCC officials to ensure the smooth flow of stormwater through the Raja Kaluve. He also asked officials to regularly clear debris in the narrow drain across National Highway 66 to prevent flooding at Kottara Chowki.
