Rain wreaks havoc in Mysuru; man washed away
The Hindu
Several areas flooded after Sunday’s downpour
Heavy rains continued to pound Mysuru after a brief lull. The downpour on Sunday evening left several houses flooded and a 60-year-old man was washed away in the strong current after accidentally falling into a storm-water drain.
The deceased has been identified as Chandre Gowda of Vinaya Marga in Siddharthanagar. He is said to have slipped into the overflowing storm-water drain close to his house and was swept away. His family members informed the authorities who made a futile bid to locate him. However, his body was fished out from the Karanji Lake on Monday.
The continuous rains have exposed the Mysuru City Corporation’s failure in cleaning up the clogged drains as the locals claimed that clogged drains were flooding their houses.
