Torrential rains continued to lash Udupi district on Tuesday disrupting normal life.
Several low-lying areas in Karkala, Kundapur, Thekkatte, Hirgana, Basruru, Barkuru, Nitturu, Kaup and Udyavara were still under knee-deep water and roads were either blocked or rendered unmotorable, officials said.
A part of the National Highway 66 between Puttur in Udupi and Kolalagiri Road also witnessed waterlogging.
As a result of the waterlogging, a car driver reportedly misjudged the depth of the water on the road and drove straight into a bog nearby and the vehicle got stuck on the Kannarpady-Kadekaru link road in Udupi rural police station limits.
Officials said all four persons in the car got out safely . The vehicle which was stuck in the water was later recovered by Fire department personnel with the help of local people.
