Karnataka rains: Life in northern districts affected as heavy downpour causes water logging

Heavy rainfall lashed several districts in northern Karnataka on Sunday, ending a week-long dry spell. The brief but intense downpours led to flooding in Dharwad, Belagavi, Gadag, Koppal, and Raichur, causing waterlogged streets, inundated homes, and traffic disruptions. A temporary bridge in Raichur was washed away, cutting off village access, while Belagavi farmers reported significant fertilizer losses.
