An 18-year-old B.Tech student from Siddipet district died after slipping and falling into Masaloddi waterfall in Mulugu on Wednesday. Despite being rushed to hospital and given emergency CPR, he succumbed while being shifted for advanced treatment.
Heavy rains triggered flooding in Mulugu, Mahabubabad, Kothagudem and Khammam, bringing Bogatha waterfalls alive while disrupting coal production, submerging homes and hostels, and leaving at least one dead. Authorities imposed curbs at tourist sites and deployed rescue teams across vulnerable areas.
The villagers initially ran helter-skelter but gathered again tom notice that Sunitha sustained deep injuries on left leg and they made a makeshift stretcher and carried her for nearly 25 kms to bring to Mallapuram village near Palam project.
