Kondai and Malyala villages in Mulugu district bore the brunt of flood fury due to unprecedented rains on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday.

The bridge between Dodla and Kondai villages crashed under the impact of the flash floods in Jampannavagu stream on Thursday morning.
The swollen stream which flowed perilously through Kondai in the wee hours of Thursday left the villagers stranded on the rooftops of their houses for several hours. Eight villagers were washed away while reportedly trying to reach a nearby village in a desperate attempt to save their lives. Their bodies were recovered almost 24 hours later on Friday.
Mulugu MLA Seethakka was moved to tears on Thursday by the plight of tribal people of the flood-affected villages and urged the State government to deploy helicopters in the rescue and relief operations.
