The Mangalore-Mudigere route is currently inaccessible due to continuous rainfall in the hilly Charmadi Ghati, where a large tree has fallen across the highway. This has led to severe traffic disruption, with vehicles halted along the road and a significant traffic jam at Kottigehar.
Police are struggling to manage the situation, which is becoming increasingly chaotic. Efforts to clear the fallen trees are ongoing but are progressing slowly, leaving kilometers of vehicles stuck in a queue.
With Shiradi Ghat already closed for highway improvement, Charmadi Ghat was the alternative route, now blocked by landslides and tree falls. Travelers are advised to check for updates and consider alternative routes to avoid delays.
