The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has declared an orange alert for the district on Wednesday as isolated heavy rainfall is expected. Considering the high volume of rain in recent days, those living in low-lying areas, riverbanks and hilly areas prone to landslips should maintain alert, said the district administration on Tuesday. The local bodies where floods and landslips have occurred in recent years have to be ready with preparations, including that for relief camps.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday said that on the lines of the farmers’ protest that compelled the Centre to withdraw farm laws, a protest would be launched with like-minded political parties and organisations representing the poor to demand repeal of the new Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) and restoration of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Act (MGNREGA).
