Ullal: A landslide that occurred on Monday early morning at a village named Kallarakodi in Ullal GP has brought to fore a 15-ft tunnel. A couple of houses built close to the tunnel are now facing threat.
A hillock behind the residence of Sadashiva Devadiga here slid exposing a 15-ft tunnel.
It is said that Devadiga’s wife Padmavathy used to do her daily chores of cleaning vessels and washing clothes behind the house. Fortunately, on Monday morning, for various reasons she could not go to the backyard to do her work, due to which she survived. The family was unaware of the landslide and was later intimated by their neighbour.
Sadashiva Devadiga had gone to the hospital to get his son discharged. Their son had met with an accident a week ago and was recuperating in a local hospital.
However, Konaje Panchayat has filled the 15-ft tunnel and has promised to do all possible efforts to save the houses built in close proximity to the tunnel.
