Floods leave a trail of destruction in Kurnool where vast areas of crops get inundated
HYDERABAD: Rain battered the State for the fifth day on Thursday under the influence of a low pressure area but there was some respite in the floods as the level of water in the rivers began to fall.
The low pressure area weakened and started moving towards Orissa bringing in its wake widespread rain in North Coastal Andhra. Kakinada and Koida recorded 9 cm and 8 cm of rain, respectively, even as the toll rose to 48. The floods left a trail of destruction in Kurnool district where vast areas of sunflower, onion and cotton crops were inundated along with low-lying villages by the Tungabhadra, Handri and Kundu and several streams.
