    Mangalore and DK districts have heavy rainfall every year. Nothing unusual. Every local knows this. I guess these DCs and Administrative people coming from drought hit areas with zero rainfall think that this is something abnormal. Their immediate solution is "red alert" as if the rainfall looks at this alert and stops by itself. During rest of the year, none of them bother to create drainage system proper for such rainfall. Mangalore city used to have very large and deep drainage channels in city. All these have disappeared. The result is, all roads get flooded. Every year, same situation continues. Even a 15 min rain causes so much havoc. Let these authorities concentrate their efforts in building proper storm water drains instead of stopping at red alerts.

    Beautiful comment...mind blowing. Hope, all administrative depts read this and implement this advice very soon. Particularly i am writing here with regard to the cleaning of dtainages before monsoon in order to avoid artificial floods. Secondly, these depts should construct and finish the work of roads, circles before monsoon...
