They remained stuck in the river for about four hours till help arrived
It was a miraculous escape for the 200-odd workers engaged in sand mining in the Krishna river at Chevitikallu village in the district on Saturday when flood water was discharged reportedly without giving any alert. About 132 lorries and two tractors were still stuck in the flood water, when reports last came in, at the sand ramp taken on lease by a private company. “We climbed up the lorry cabins and shouted for help. The road laid to the ramp got washed away and the vehicles were caught in the flood water,” the rescued lorry drivers later said.
