Seven hurt as heavy rains lash Krishna and NTR districts

Heavy downpours across Krishna and NTR districts claimed three lives on Tuesday, with authorities reporting multiple weather-related incidents across the region. A woman was electrocuted in Mopidevi mandal while attempting to navigate conditions created by the deluge, while two youths were killed when their motorcycle was struck by a car in a separate incident attributed to reduced visibility caused by the rainfall.

Four additional persons were injured in the incidents, though details of their injuries remained unclear. The heavy precipitation has led to overflowing of local rivulets and water channels, creating hazardous conditions for residents and commuters across the affected districts.

Police authorities have intensified their response to the weather crisis, establishing pickets near overflowing water bodies and along vulnerable stretches of road to monitor conditions and assist stranded motorists. The deployment aims to prevent further accidents and casualties as rainfall continues across the region.

District administration officials have advised residents to remain indoors and avoid unnecessary travel until weather conditions improve. Emergency services remain on high alert to respond to any additional incidents triggered by the ongoing heavy rains.
