MADIKERI: Following the reopening of schools and colleges on August 27 in Kodagu, the 41 relief centres that hosted 5,000 distressed people were reduced to 23 relief centres. The volunteer and other non-government centres in Madikeri shut their services and the people were shifted to other government-run relief centres.
While villagers from Monnangeri and Kaluru were shifted to relief centres in Madikeri itself, 266 villagers from one of the relief centres in Madikeri and 126 villagers from Suntikoppa relief centres were shifted to Kushalnagar, which triggered minor inconveniences. For the first two days, villagers complained of lack of toilet facility and other necessities including shortage of carpets and mats.
