Karimnagar: TSRTC bus going to Siddipet from Kamareddy with 20 passengers was swept away in a rivulet on Tuesday. The local people were successfully pulled out all the passengers of the bus were and a rescue team tried to lift the bus out of the rivulet using a JCB.

Their efforts, however, were in vain. RTC authorities who took a serious view of the incident directed all the depot managers and drivers not to take risks and cross canals and rivulets in light of the floods.
