Floods force evacuation of families
Two children were killed when a portion of their house came crashing on them in heavy rain at Karipur near Kondotty on Tuesday morning.
The tragedy took place at Mundottupadam, Karipur, at 5.15 a.m. when a mudslide occurred from a hillock behind their house, causing the wall of the bedroom in which the children were sleeping to collapse. The victims were identified as Diyana Fatima, 7, and Lubana Fatima, six months old, daughters of Aboobacker Siddik and Sumayya.
Local people came running for help, extricated the children from under the rubble, and rushed them to the Government Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode. However, they could not be saved.
