26 villages under water

Kolleru (Krishna ), Aug. 20: For the past two weeks, people of 26 island villages on the Kolleru lake have remained stranded in the floodwaters. They do not have basic amenities like power, potable drinking water, ration and kerosene. The recent rains followed by the swelling floodwaters have disconnected these villages from the outside world forcing them to stay in knee deep waters.
