Karnataka: Amid incessant rains, Shivamogga District administration has declared a holiday on Tuesday for colleges and schools (government and aided) in three Taluks of Malnad region. The colleges and schools will remain close in Thirthahalli, Sagar and Hosanagara of Malnad region. There is a flood-like situation in northern parts of Karnataka due to Maharashtra releasing huge volumes of water from its reservoirs after receiving heavy rainfall in the state.
