Bajpe: As the incessant rains are lashing across the coastal district, the Nandini rivulet, a tributary of Netravati River is overflowing flooding the plantations in nearby Kateel temple.
The flood caused havoc on areca plantations, washing away fertile soil and uprooting growing saplings, threatening the livelihoods of hundreds of household families.
The farmlands located in the neighbourhoods of Kateel and Yekkar are also facing the threats of floods, owing to which the farm activities are delayed.
