Heavy rain is lashing parts of Karnataka, with reports indicating that several bridges have gone under water and rivers are running in spate.

The situation has heightened concerns about flooding and public safety, especially in low-lying areas and near river crossings.

With water levels rising, movement across affected routes may be disrupted, and residents are being urged to remain cautious around fast-flowing waterways.

Authorities are monitoring conditions as the downpour continues, while the risk from overflowing rivers and submerged crossings remains a key worry.
