Relentless monsoon rain that began on the night of 16 July pounded Mangaluru and other parts of Dakshina Kannada district, triggering multiple landslides and infrastructure damage across the coastal Karnataka city. A significant slide on the Mangaluru–Bengaluru National Highway-75 at Bejai choked traffic on the key corridor, while a separate collapse of rock and soil on the B.J Road–KPT Road further disrupted local movement. Authorities have cleared part of the debris and are allowing vehicles through on a single lane as heavy machinery works to fully reopen the routes. In a residential section of Mangaluru, a compound wall weakened by the downpour gave way, crushing several parked two-wheelers; no injuries were reported. Emergency crews cordoned off the area and began reinforcement of nearby structures. Across the state border, Kuttiady in Kozhikode district, Kerala, recorded extensive water-logging, leaving streets impassable and prompting municipal pumping operations. District disaster-management officials in Dakshina Kannada said cleanup is under way and appealed to motorists to avoid affected stretches until stability assessments are complete.
