At least nine people have died and three are missing owing to floods caused by incessant rain that has battered Karnataka since Thursday. Even though rain has subsided in northern Karnataka, the Krishna river is in full spate and has washed away at least three people. Among people evacuated to safer locations across the state, 19,035 are from the Belagavi district. Deputy Commissioner M G Hiremath added that connectivity was affected on 37 roads in the north Karnataka district due to the floods. It was closed to traffic since Friday after a part of it caved in after heavy rain.
