The death toll from Thursday’s flooding in Telangana’s Mulugu district has risen to eight with the recovery of five bodies from the Jampannavagu stream near Medaram in Tadvai mandal in the tribal majority district on July 28 morning.
All of the deceased hailed from Kondai village in the neighbouring Eturunagaram mandal. Four of them belonged to a same family and another has been identified as Sammakka, a close relative of Kondai sarpanch, a police said.
Two more persons of the same village, who were washed away by the swollen stream, are yet to be traced.
