Rain kills five people in Telangana

Heavy rain accompanied by strong wind and hail left a trail of destruction in several parts of Telangana on Thursday.

A man died after a portion of his house collapsed in Warangal, while two people were killed n Nalgonda and one each in Rangareddy and Warangal in rain related incidents. Normal life was hit hard with road transport disrupted due to fall of trees on



arterial roads. Power supply was disrupted and scores of villages plunged into darkness.

Though the sudden downpour brought the much-needed relief from the sweltering summer heat, it caused untold damage to farmers in several districts across the state. Standing crop spread over thousands of acres was flattened.
