Sullia, Aug 2: In a heart-wrenching incident that is reported from Subramanya, mortal remains of two sisters were found holding their hands together as a hill collapsed on their house on the night of Monday, August 1.
The bodies of siblings were removed after long rescue operation. Shruthi (11) and Jnanashree (6), daughters of Kusumadhar, are the unfortunate children who lost life in this tragedy.
Heavy rains were lashing Subramanya from the evening of Monday, August 1. Around 7 pm, a huge sound was heard. Shruthi who was reading a book in the portico of the house, ran inside the house thinking that the sound must have come from inside the house. Jnanashree also ran inside. At the same time, the hill collapsed on the house. Mother of siblings, who was busy in kitchen, came outside the house, thinking that the children must be outside.
As a tree fell on the way and water was overflowing, rescue personnel could not reach the spot immediately. The rain also hampered the operation.
