Five cowherds stranded in the Munneru stream in Khammam’s Chintakani mandal were rescued by NDRF teams on Thursday. Heavy rains across the region caused a sharp rise in stream and river levels, prompting alerts in Khammam and surrounding areas.
Seven cowherds took cattle for grazing and got trapped in an island between Murredu stream and Kinnerasani stream as water level increased with the release of excess water from Kinnerasani dam.
