Many parts of Malnad region continued to receive moderate to heavy rainfall on Thursday. Rivers are in spate and inflow into reservoirs has been increasing. And, many streams have taken birth on the hill stations. Heavy downpour that lashed parts of Mudigere and Sringeri has left people in fear of landslips, which have affected the lives of many in the last two years. There are reports of power disruption and trees being uprooted due to rain coupled with gusty wind. India Meteorological Department said that there was heavy rain in Agumbe, Thalaguppa and Hunchadakatte in Shivamogga district, Kottigehara, Jayapura and other parts in Chikkamagaluru district.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
