As cyclonic storm-induced rains took a break in most parts of the district on Tuesday, the heavy rains that lashed the district under the influence of cyclone Gulab on Monday left vast tracts of agricultural fields inundated and various stretches of the highways badly damaged.
Crops in around 3,170 acres were inundated due to waterlogging caused by the heavy rains that battered many parts of the district on Monday, according to preliminary estimates by the Agriculture Department.
Nearly 2720 acres of paddy crops and 450 acres of cotton crops remained under a sheet of rainwater in various mandals across the district, the sources added.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
