In Andhra Pradesh, twelve people, including five women, were feared drowned when their car was swept away last night by a swelling stream during heavy rain in the district. Official sources said in Guntur that fifteen people were returning by the car to their native Pasumarti Palem village in the neighbouring Prakasam district after worshipping at a temple when the mishap took place. Locals rescued three of the occupants while the remaining 12 are feared to have drowned. Torrential rain triggered by a depression in the Bay of Bengal has hampered rescue operations.
