Durgappa from Belgaum got washed away in the river, and a team is working hard to find him. However, due to adverse weather conditions, there is no clue.

Karike Gram Panchayat President Balachandra Nair, locals, Kerala Police, and officials of the Cashew Corporation are searching for him, and a case has been registered at the Rajapuram Police Station in Kerala. The operation has been suspended due to heavy rain and darkness. Village Balachandra Nair informed ‘Shakti’ that the search will continue today.
Last year, during the rainy season, a young man tried to cross the road at this same spot and his bike was washed away. The bike was found during a search today.
