This is the first time that the bridge has submerged this monsoon. As the bridge is a vital link to the famous Kukke Subrahamanya Temple devotees visiting the temple were greatly affected.

Reports said water began flowing over the bridge by 12 noon when the Home Guards and Police Personnel who are on guard on either sides of the bridge closed the gates. BC Shivappa, Special Tahsildar and HE Nagaraj, Kadaba SI also visited the spot and  took stock of the situation.
