The water level in River Krishna and its tributaries have increased drastically following the incessant rain in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra.
The swollen rivers have left many bridges and roads in Belagavi district submerged, affecting the road connectivity in the region.
Heavy overnight rain in Khanapur and Londa has upped the water levels in Malaprabha, leaving two bridges in the taluk and one in Bailhongal taluk under water.
A staggering 59,653 cusecs of water was released into downstream at Rajapur barrage in Karnataka-Maharashtra border. Because of huge inflow into River Krishna, six low-lying bridges in Chikkodi taluk – Kallol-Yadur, Karadga-Bhoj, Bhojwadi-Kannur, Sidnal-Akkol, Jatrat-Bhiveshi and Malikwad-Dattawad, are still under water.
