Two Students Rescued After Being Stranded at Mallalli Falls Amid Heavy RainsPreviousNext

Two engineering students from Andhra Pradesh were rescued after becoming stranded at Mallalli Falls in Kodagu district, Karnataka, following heavy monsoon rains. The students reportedly crossed safety barricades into a restricted area, where rising water trapped them on a rock. Fire and Emergency Services personnel, aided by local residents, conducted a successful rescue. Meanwhile, heavy rains caused damage in the region, including a house collapse in Somwarpet taluk and a fatal landslide in Mangaluru.
