How Rachakonda cops saved motorcyclist from drowning in a daredevil operation at Kolanupaka

Jula Srikanth (39) of Bachannapet Mandal in the Jangaon district was riding his motorcycle when he fell into the stream due to heavy water flow at the Kolanupaka culvert. When they saw him, Traffic ASI P. Veda Vyas, PC Shaik Abdul Kalam, and Crane driver MD Hussain, who was assigned to regulate traffic in the area, rushed to the scene and saved the motorist's life with the assistance of villagers and other staff. Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao has instructed the chief secretary to alert the Collectors and SPs of all the districts of the Godavari catchment area including Kothagudem and Mulugu, under the backdrop of heavy rains in the upper riparian region as the flood flow of Godavari increasing steadily and crossing 9 lakh cusecs.
