Trees Fall Due to Strong Winds
Poonjalakatte: In a related incident, strong winds caused trees to fall near Nadumogaru School in Maninalkur village of Bantwal taluk on Tuesday. This led to a temporary halt in road traffic. Fortunately, as school had already been dismissed, no one was present on the road at the time. Despite the presence of nearby electric poles, there was no damage, averting a potential hazard.

Bantwal: Late Monday night, an electric pole fell near Krishnakodi close to Kalladka, causing a traffic jam for some time. The pole fell around 11:30 PM, and later, linemen arrived to remove it. By then, vehicles had lined up on the road.
