Kurnool: Unseasonal rains followed by gales wreaked havoc in Nandyal, Adoni, Bandi Atmakur, Yemmiganoor, Mantralayam, and Alur the district on Saturday. One person was killed in a house collapse. Traffic came to a standstill at Pathikonda due to overflowing streams. Trees and electric poles fell due to heavy gales.
Many houses at Mantralayam were submerged in rain waters and many families were rendered homeless. Electricity went off in many areas due to gales and rain. Restoration of electricity was not taken up as electric poles fell down. In a rain-related incident, Sumanth (15) sustained grievous injuries when the roof of a house was collapsed at Budwarapeta.
Sumanth breathed his last while shifting to a hospital. Many low-lying areas in Kurnool town were inundated with rainwater due to lack of proper drainage system. The existing drainage system is filled with silt, hence, sewage water is flowing on the roads. Therefore, foul smell emanated from sewage water.
