Two children reportedly succumbed to death after they were struck by lightning amid heavy rains in Bhadradhri Kothagudem.
The deceased children, Borra Siddhu, 15, and Borra Chandu, 11, were siblings. They belonged to the Jamendar Bazar village.
The duo took shelter under a tree, near an agricultural field, as it began to rain. They died instantly when lightning struck the tree.
Several parts of the state on Friday, July 20, were on red alert as monsoons began to take shape in Telangana. The state is likely to witness heavy rainfall until July 21.
