Karnataka rain: Kumaraswamy reaches Belagavi to visit flood-hit areas

Rescue and relief operations by the NDRF, SDRF, Army, Navy, and Fire and Emergency Services, along with volunteers, have continued in the districts of north Karnataka

Even as reduced intensity of rain in the region accelerated relief and rescue operations in the districts of north Karnataka, the overall flood situation continues to be still grim.

Former chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has reached Belagavi to visit flood-hit areas.

Rescue and relief operations by the NDRF, SDRF, Army, Navy, and Fire and Emergency Services, along with volunteers, have continued in the districts, resulting in rescue and evacuation of close to 1,500 people affected by the increased water level.
