Mulugu: A woman aged more than 60 years died as her house collapsed at Kotha Mallur village of Managapet mandal in the district in the wee hours of Monday. The deceased was Soyam Mangamma, and she was alone in a tile roofed house when the incident happened. The body has been shifted to a nearby government hospital for post-mortem. It is learnt that the mud walls were soaked due to continuous rainfall and led to collapse of the house.

Meanwhile, a sand laden lorry has overturned and fell in the stream at Jalagalancha vagu in Tadvai mandal on NH-163. It may be recalled here that the road at the spot was washed away two weeks ago due to heavy rains, but it was repaired temporarily.
