Mangaluru, June 9, 2016: Copious rains that have poured down have brought to the surface the shoddy work of the Mangaluru City Corporation and also in Udupi.

Without proper storm water drains, the rainwater was seen flowing on the road itself, thus inconveniencing both vehicle users and pedestrians.  Several roads and localities were inundated following a downpour for an hour. Rainwater was on KS Rao Road, at Jyothi bus stand and other areas in the city. The rainwater gushed inside the City Corporation pump house at Yeyyadi as well.

In the last 24 hours, Dakshina Kannada district has experienced an average of 6.4 mm rainfall. Also 12 mm in Belthangady and 10.2 mm in Mangaluru.

The situation of the drainage in many pockets of Udupi is no better.
