Udupi: Residents in several places in Beejadi near Koteshwara in Kundapur said that they saw light yellow rain falling on their clothes and other articles on Wednesday.
The carnataka state pollution control board in Udupi has recorded this development.
Professor Arun M Isloor, who taught the chemistry at the National Institute of Technology of Karnataka (NIT-K) in Surathkal, said that “Unless the sample was examined, we could not conclude the exact cause for yellow rain”.
The professor included various reasons why somewhere could receive “Rain Yellow”.
It can happen because fine dust particles accumulate in the air because of heavy construction work.
It can also be because of certain plant pollen granules.
This can happen if certain plant species run into thousands of hectares.
The concentration of fungus can also be one of the reasons, he said.
Ganesh Puthran, a businessman and social worker, said around 1pm on Wednesday, the Punished Family Bangera noticed the yellow droplets on the clothes they had tightened to dry, and on the ground and in leaves.
Some people from the area also reported seeing “Rain Yellow”, he said
