Huge Retaining Walls Built in Mangalore: This Will Reduce Artificial Flooding in The City

The small irrigation department has built huge retaining walls at a cost of Rs 65 crore which prevented flooding in many areas. MLA Vedavyas Kamath had made a special appeal to the state government in this regard and Rs 65 crore grant was released.

The residents of the city, who were living near stormwater drains, have found a relief from artificial floods which used to occur during monsoons. In many areas in the city, the residents had to shift to other places and lose their valuable household goods due to flooding. Now this problem is solved forever. Though it rained for a week continuously in the city, the areas where retaining walls were built near the huge storm water drain, flooding did not occur.
