The Kodagu district administration has banned the movement of heavy goods carrier vehicles in Kodagu from July 1 to 30 owing to heavy rains.

Kodagu Deputy Commissioner (DC) Dr Venkat Raja said the ban has been imposed since there are chances of land slide during the monsoon. He also said that the transportation of timber has been completely banned. The ban will apply to goods carriers and trucks, with a gross vehicle weight of 18,500 kg and above, bullet tankers, shipping cargo containers and articulated vehicles.

However, the restriction does not apply to containers carrying LPG, fuel, milk, vehicles for government work, school and college vehicles and public transport vehicles, the DC added.
