Good rainfall in Kodagu district

Mysore: Kodagu district has been receiving good rains since the last three days, particularly in Bhagamandala and Talacauvery areas, accounting for good inflow into the Cauvery.

The Triveni Sangama overflowed at Bhagamandala on Monday, but it did not affect the movement of people or traffic, according to reports.
