Earlier, a school bus carrying 30 students got partially submerged in a flooded street in Telangana's Mahbubnagar. The incident happened when the school bus was passing under a railway bridge between Machannapally and Kodur villages.

Due to heavy rains in Mahabubnagar district, flood water had accumulated under the bridge. The driver of the school bus tried to drive through the water under the bridge but was stranded midway. The students were eventually rescued by the locals and the bus was later brought out from under the bridge.
