Tunga and Bhadra rivers rise, farmers rejoice amid rains in K'taka

Continuous rainfall across Chikkamagaluru's Malnad region of Karnataka has raised the water levels of the Tunga and Bhadra rivers, bringing relief to farmers after a prolonged dry spell. Rising river levels have also triggered flood concerns in Sringeri, while a crane parked on the Bhadra riverbank was submerged. Authorities continue to monitor the situation amid persistent rainfall.
