A massive tree fell on the walking path of the renovated Gujjarkere on July 30 evening following heavy rains and gusty winds. The area, which is otherwise packed with evening walkers, was deserted due to heavy rains.
“Had it been any normal day, there would have been some casualties as a lot of people walk in the evening while many sit beneath the tree,” said Nemu Kottari, Secretary of Gujjarkere Tirtha Kere Samrakshana Samithi.
The fallen tree also damaged a portion of the tank railing.
Civic workers cut the tree into pieces and removed the wood, in Mangaluru on July 31, 2024.
