Mangalore-Udupi NH at Kuluru Caved in Due to Fengal Cyclone Impact: Click to Know What Happened

The impact of the Tamil Nadu Fengal Cyclone has caused significant damage in Dakshina Kannada due to continuous rainfall. The Fengal Cyclone has disrupted life across Dakshina Kannada, causing landslides and the collapse of retaining walls, creating obstacles for the public.

The Mangalore-Udupi National Highway at Kuluru has caved in because of road excavation work carried out by GAIL company. The excavation work created a large pit, and the accumulated rainwater led to the collapse of the road in that area. The road gave way suddenly while bikes, cars, and trucks were passing, narrowly avoiding a major disaster. Locals have raised concerns that, despite the collapse, heavy vehicles are still passing nearby, posing a risk of further road collapse.
