At least six people lost their lives in separate rain-related incidents after heavy rains battered various parts of Telangana on October 29. The downpour was triggered by the impact of Cyclone Montha, officials from the police and district authorities reported on Friday.
In Siddipet district, a tragic incident occurred when a husband and wife were swept away while attempting to cross an overflowing stream on a two-wheeler. Their bodies were recovered later that day, according to police sources.
In another unfortunate event, a man riding a bike in Suryapet district died when a roadside tree uprooted and fell on him. Additionally, an elderly woman lost her life due to a wall collapse in Mahabubabad district.
Officials also reported the death of a bedridden man in his mid-60s when floodwaters entered his house in Warangal.
Several other incidents have been reported where people went missing after being swept away by floodwaters.
The heavy rains on October 29 caused significant waterlogging on roads and inundation of low-lying areas across multiple locations, including Warangal, Hanamakonda, Mahabubabad, Karimnagar, Khammam, and Bhadradri Kothagudem. Authorities continue to monitor the situation as rescue and relief operations are underway.
