The heavy rains in parts of Karnataka have not only put people's lives at risk but animals are also struggling in search of a safe place to move. The state government has opened the gates of several big dams after water level in the rivers started rising, triggering concerns of flooding in areas along near the riverbanks. Amid the rains, a video of monkeys stuck for days on trees submerged in a river and a dramatic attempt to rescue them by forest and fire officials has emerged. In visuals, the water level of the wide Tungabhadra river in Karnataka's Davangere appears high and a strong current pulls its muddy water.
