Landslide near Multistorey building at Syndicate Circle Manipal Creates Panic
Manipal: Due to low-pressure brewing over the Bay of Bengal, Udupi district witnessed heavy rainfall across the district.
A landslide near a multistorey building in Manipal created fear among the people. Kundelkadu is one of the famous forest areas in Manipal where buildings have been constructed by cutting down trees.
Incessant rains in Udupi has resulted in the loosening of the soil, which caused the landslide behind the multistorey building close to Syndicate Circle near the Manipal DC office road.
The authorities of the city municipality asked the occupants to vacate the building as early as possible. If the rain continues, there is a possibility of more landslides.
As a precautionary measure, traffic has been diverted by the Manipal Police.
Anand Kallolikar (Commissioner of Udupi CMC) and Pradeep Kurdekar (Tahsildar of Udupi) visited the spot.
We play with nature by cutting trees, jungles and building concrete jungles. Here is God showing us his wrath of anger in so many ways in so many places. It is sad that common people suffer losses of homes and properties. But the bigger sharks will still live and continue to enjoy life. As we are just easing with Corona fever, floods are at hands, so what are we to do? what is the message we are getting from nature and our creator?
