The villagers then used a tractor to tow the bus out of the floodwater. The underpass is not meant to be inundated, but since it is still under construction, a water drainage system has not been installed. Hearing of the incident, Excise Minister V Srinivas Goud telephoned the chief engineer of railways to ensure flood water drainage works are completed.It may be recalled that two weeks ago, a similar incident occurred at a railway underpass in Merangapalli village of Mominpet mandal in Vikarabad district, when a bus ferrying a wedding party was stuck in the floodwater while crossing it during the night.
