When one builds edifices on the bank of the Nethravathi the floods are certain to come. There was a time when I first worked at Mlore from 1976 to 1980 the flooded Nethravathi would reach the Mlore Blore road right from Kannur checkpost to Adyar, even the road would be flooded between Padil to Kannur CP. Next when I was posted again I was astonished to find that even colleges have been built on the very areas where once the Nethravathi spread it’s water during Monsoon season. Again let us be reminded of what use was Tipu’s Kandak when this formed a support for the flood water not to reach the then habitable area of Bunder.
